Quadrangular Tournament Final
South Africa Springboks vs Samoa
Date : 22nd June 2013
AT: Pretoria
South Africa:
The South Africa national rugby union team (known as the Springboks)
represents South Africa in rugby union. They compete in the annual
Rugby Championship, along with southern-hemisphere counterparts
Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. They have won this championship on
three occasions in sixteen years. They are currently ranked second in
the world by the International Rugby Board, and were named 2008 World
Team of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards.
Although South Africa was instrumental
in the creation of the Rugby World Cup competition, the Springboks did
not compete in the first two World Cups in 1987 and 1991 because of
anti-apartheid sporting boycotts of South Africa. The team made its
World Cup debut in 1995, when the newly democratic South Africa hosted
the tournament. The Springboks then defeated the All Blacks 15–12 in the
final, which is now remembered as one of the greatest moments in South
Africa’s sporting history, and a watershed moment in the post-Apartheid
nation-building process. South Africa regained their title as champions
12 years later, when they defeated England 15–6 in the 2007 final. As a
result of the 2007 World Cup tournament the Springboks were promoted to
first place in the IRB World Rankings, a position they held until July
the following year when New Zealand regained the top spot.
The Springboks play in green and gold
jerseys, and their emblems are the Springbok and the Protea. The side
has been playing international rugby since 1891, when a British Isles
side toured the nation, playing South Africa in their first Test on 30
July. South Africa was coached by Jake White, who led the Boks to the
2007 World Cup title, announcing his resignation effectively from the
end of 2007. His replacement’s (Peter de Villiers) contract expired in
2011, following a 11–9 defeat to Australia in the Rugby World Cup
quarter-final, who then stated he would not be signing a new deal. The
previous captain was John Smit, who before he retired in 2011 played
hooker for most of his career, although he has also been a prop, mainly
in 2008 and 2009. Due to Smit being unavailable for the November 2010
Tests after surgery, lock Victor Matfield took Smit’s place as captain
for that tour. The current captain is Jean de Villiers.
Samoa :
The Manu Samoa is the men’s
representative side of the Samoa Rugby Union in both the 15′s and the
7′s for international competitions. The Samoa Rugby Union is owned by
the affiliated rugby unions of Samoa. In Samoa, Manu Samoa is in honour of a famous Samoan warrior. From 1924 to 1997 Samoa was known and competed as Western Samoa.
They perform a traditional Samoan challenge called the siva tau before
each game. Samoa Rugby Union were formerly members of the Pacific
Islands Rugby Alliance (PIRA) along with Fiji and Tonga. They are ranked
7th in the world. They have been funded by millionaire Sir Michael Fay,
one of New Zealand’s wealthiest men, since 1996.
Rugby was introduced to Samoa in the
early 1920s and a governing body was soon formed. The first
international was played as Western Samoa against Fiji in August 1924.
Along with Tonga, these nations would meet regularly and eventually
contest competitions such as the Pacific Tri-Nations – with Western
Samoa winning the first of these. Samoa have been to every Rugby World
Cup since the 1991 tournament. That tournament, along with the 1995
competition saw them make the quarter-finals.
Under their new coach, the All Blacks
legend Michael Jones (himself of Samoan descent and a Samoan
international), Samoa worked hard to create a side able to compete
effectively in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, where they were grouped with
England, South Africa, Tonga and the USA. However, Samoa had a dismal
World Cup campaign, defeating only the USA and finishing fourth in their
group, which forced them to go through qualifying for the 2011 World
Cup. The team however comfortably qualified with 188–19 aggregate win
over Papua New Guinea. Jones resigned immediately after the World Cup;
in January 2008, Niko Palamo, formerly the country’s under-19 and sevens
coach, was named as his replacement. He would later be replaced by
former sevens coach Titimaea “Dicky” Tafua in 2009.
Manu Samoa play in blue and white uniforms. They do not train on Sundays because many of the team are devout Christians.
