Koch’s Springbok desire still burning high Springbok tighthead prop Vincent Koch, who joined the national squad in Port Elizabeth on Monday evening, said he still had a burning desire to add to his number of Test caps. The front ranker joined the Boks from Saracens in England, where he plays club rugby, and had his first training run with the squad on Tuesday afternoon. Koch represented the Springboks in 10 matches, the last of which was against Italy in 2016. On Tuesday, the friendly prop fronted the media at the team’s hotel in Port Elizabeth, where they are based for Saturday’s Castle Lager Rugby Championship Test against the Wallabies at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Koch spoke passionately about his big desire to play once more in the Green and Gold. He said he was overjoyed when Rassie Erasmus, the SA Rugby Director of Rugby, contacted him about joining the squad. “It’s a great honour to be back and didn’t really expect it,” said Koch. “You keep watching the Boks, even if you are overseas. It is a new squad and new coaching staff and I have a lot to learn, but I am super excited to be here.” Koch said it was great to catch up with his friends in the national squad, and he has noticed a good spirit in the camp: “In terms of positives, it looks like they’ve developed an amazing environment and it’s been good to see the energy levels and how just how motivated they are as well. It’s been easier for me to slot in.”

Scramble on for Junior Champs semi-finals The scramble for semi-final spots was the main focus in the SA Rugby Junior Provincial Championships this past week in another thrilling round, with the highlight being the Vodacom Blue Bulls U21s’ massive 149-13 victory over EP. In the SA Rugby U21 Championship, the Vodacom Blue Bulls were in fine form against Eastern Province as they touched down 23 times for a 149-13 home victory, with Rickert Korff and Xolisa Guma scoring hat-tricks. Free State pipped the Xerox Golden Lions 33-31 in Bloemfontein to end the Gauteng side’s four-match unbeaten run. Both sides scored four tries, despite the hosts leading 20-3 at halftime, but three penalty goals by the hosts handed them an edge on the scoreboard. DHL Western Province also produced a solid display to defeat the Cell C Sharks 45-19 after leading 24-19 at the break, with the side out-scoring the opposition six tries to three. All three victorious sides remained in the semi-final race with two rounds to go, along with the Xerox Golden Lions, who held onto top spot on the log with one match to play. Griquas U20, meanwhile, registered their first victory of the season as they edged SWD 21-20 in George in what proved to be a tight encounter from the outset. Both sides crossed the chalk three times, but a penalty goal for the visitors proved decisive in their victory, which kept alive their semi-final hopes. It was also a good weekend for the Pumas, who ground out an important 47-40 victory against a determined Limpopo outfit in Pretoria in their penultimate round-robin match to stay in the running for a home semi-final. Japie Kleinhans and Josua Steenberg contributed four of their seven tries in solid individual performances. In the U19 Championship, the Cell C Sharks secured their 10th successive win of the season to seal the top spot on the log, while the Vodacom Blue Bulls and Xerox Golden Lions cemented their semi-final spots in their penultimate pool matches. The Cell C Sharks overturned a 19-13 halftime deficit against DHL Western Province in Cape Town to earn a narrow 39-31 victory thanks to their six tries to five by the hosts. The men from Pretoria also overcame a strong challenge from Eastern Province for a 33-31 victory in Pretoria after racing to a 21-7 halftime lead, while a brace by the Xerox Golden Lions’ Edmund Ludick and a solid kicking display steered them to a 34-24 victory against the Free State despite both sides scoring four tries.
