Saffas Abroad: Kolbe won’t give up as Bok mates clash

Here’s a wrap of all the action involving South African players in England and France, including an incredible try for Cheslin Kolbe, along with a controversial collision between Springbok teammates.

Top 14

Kolbe scored a superb opportunistic try for Toulon in Saturday’s 43-10 victory against Lyon at Matmut Stadium. The Bok flyer bravely chased a kick for touch and regathered the ball on the bounce before stepping past two defenders. Fellow Bok Eben Etzebeth also starred with a stylish try assist for the visitors.

Rynhardt Elstadt went down with Toulouse in a 19-13 loss at Castres, while Nico Janse van Rensburg bagged a try for Montpellier in a 23-13 away win against Tristan Tedder’s Perpignan at Stade Gilbert Brutus. Cobus Reinach and SA-born France lock Paul Willemse also featured for the visitors.

At Stade Chaban-Delmas, La Rochelle’s Raymond Rhule notched up a five-pointer in a hard-fought 16-15 victory over hosts Bordeaux Begles.

Premiership

Robert du Preez scored all the points for Sale Sharks in Friday’s 12-18 defeat to Saracens at the AJ Bell Stadium, with Vincent Koch involved in a contentious hit on Bok teammate Faf de Klerk.

Sarries’ Koch shoulder-charged De Klerk with teammate Aled Davies, sending the Sharks No 9 clattering over the touchline and into the turf – and both ‘tacklers’ escaped a sanction.

How is this hit on Faf de Klerk not a red card, only Luke Pearce will know. Or does he? #SALvSAR pic.twitter.com/XyLvVJqd20

From the Owen Farrell school of tackling. Just a pen apparently… pic.twitter.com/tKhp1REYIS

I love how chilli pepper is bantering Vincent Koch for his “involvement” in the Faf de Klerk incident #SaffasAbroad pic.twitter.com/ocGIXkmrVZ

Meanwhile, Jacques Vermeulen and Namibian-born Patrick Schickerling crossed the whitewash for Exeter in Saturday’s 42-22 victory against Jacques du Toit’s Bath at Sandy Park.

However, Ruan Ackermann was on the wrong side of a 21-22 result for Gloucester in their clash with Wasps, while Juarno Augustus and David Ribbans celebrated a 39-22 win with Northampton Saints against Bristol Bears.

Experienced halfback Louis Schreuder dotted down in a 45-10 triumph for Newcastle Falcons on the road against Kyle Hatherell’s Worcester Warriors, with Kyle Cooper getting a run off the bench for the visitors.

On Sunday, Harlequins’ Andre Esterhuizen added his name to the try-scorer list in a 41-14 triumph over London Irish, with Benhard Janse van Rensburg doing similar for the hosts, while Quins’ Wilco Louw made an appearance as a second-half substitute.

The reigning Premiership champions crossed the whitewash seven times at Brentford Community Stadium, Bok bruiser Esterhuizen easing past two half-hearted tackles to underline his side’s superiority, before Janse van Rensburg crept over the line five minutes from the end.

All Blacks star weighs in on Fiji’s future in Rugby Championship

Image
Nobody within  All Blacks  camp was surprised at the exploits of  Fiji in Dunedin. As the dust settles and the Monday afternoon match review begins, two men who watched from the sidelines say the All Blacks weren’t the least bit taken by surprise at how clinical Fiji were for large parts of the 57-23 encounter at the weekend. Who knows whether those statements are genuine or not, but the prevailing opinion within the All Blacks is one of satisfaction that a challenge of this magnitude has come so early in the part. These guys [Fijian players] are rockstars over there. I was well aware of that as was the team, especially around their threatening ball carriers. What happened out there was expected and they came with the intensity that we expected as well.
