U18 Rugby | South Africa vs England | Intense Battle 

Excellent game from SA. I did not see this result coming. England looked really good in their other games.

My goodness! That SA fullback.

Couldn’t someone have asked the farmer to pass his flail mower over his field first?

way better than against France, that 15 is really something

As good as any senior match!! Great stuff, guys!!

Wow! Some great talent over here. I love seeing the awesome runs and break aways, more of an attacking and flair type of play. Although, I feel that against this England squad, we could have dominated them either way. Through flair and pace or through power...we did good on the driving mauls although I feel that they should work on bettering their maul drive execution and it could've been utilised much more throughout the game as we had a stronger forward pack IMO just based on the highlight review. The defence play needs a lot of work We need players to show a bit more enthusiasm and drive when it comes to the defensive play, make your tackle, get up faster and build the line back up again, hold the defensive line, be conscious and vocal on the field, cover the gaps within the defensive line...becoming masters at getting the basics right with perfect execution. I think we will be a force to be reconned with. You can definitely see shades of the National team in this under 18 squad and I love that. I also love how they play with a bit more flair than the National team lol we really have depth in player selection and grooming future rugby talent. Proudly RSA!

Well done baby boks....you are looking at the future world Champs...Go bokke❤!

Good game of rugby, from both teams.

The flyhalf under 18 kicks better than Manie Libbok

Yoh hey step by no15 😂😂

Much better, Bokke!

Both backlines were electric

This just shows how important a good flyhalf is. Hope the SA senior team selectors were watching.

Did the South African teams placed against each other or not ?

Forwards still takes too much contact

What many don't realise is that despite both being classed as U18's the 2 teams are different ages. Because the Saffa school year runs Jan -Dec and the rugby season March to September, this event comes after Craven week at the end of the SA teams U18 season. To qualify, the players had to be under 18 on the 1st of January 2023. For the English and the French, who were also involved, the school year runs Sept-Aug and the rugby season sept-April. This is a pre-season tour for them and to qualify, they had to be under 18 on the 1st September 2023. Because of the mismatched school years and rugby seasons, this has been an issue at all these events.

Rassie sal seker n biekie beter slaap, baie van die scores was amazing try's

Where’s the crowd? One man and his goat there. I’m forever being told Schoolboy Rugby in SA fills stadiums?

Mos gesê gee Grey Bloem net n kans Toe pos ons hulle

Don’t worry all that enterprising rugby,flair and speed of hand will be knocked out of them if Boring Borthwick gets his hands on them. Send these lads out to France and bring home the old guard.

So much better watching the young talent than the men’s team who have had all their natural ability crushed out of their soul. It would be nice to think that it might not happen to these young players.

This is not England any more To many non English man playing.

Tuipolotu, that's a good English name.

Nice match , but pity they couldn't have found a better pitch than this cabbage patch to play on for an international match. Embarrassing
