Allister Coetzee’s side endured a miserable 2016, but now boast four wins from four this year.The strength, speed and superb handling that has graced great Springbok sides in the past were all present as they dominated against the Pumas, particularly in the scrum.Elton Jantjies’ accurate kicking set them apart from their visitors, while there were first international tries for lively wingers Courtnall Skosan and Raymond Rhule.Argentina showed moments of promise with scores from Martin Landajo and Emiliano Boffelli in each half, but Siya Kolisi and Pieter-Steph du Toit added late gloss for South Africa.South Africa will look to maintain this form, but they must back it up when the two sides meet in Salta, scene of a surprise Springboks defeat 12 months ago, next week.Final.#PersonalRugbyChampionship #JugamosTodos #SUDvARG pic.twitter.com/wgEAB74TGN— Los Pumas (@lospumas) August 19, 2017South Africa looked the more likely in the opening exchanges but they only had two Jantjies penalties to show for their efforts.The Springboks ran the ball at every given opportunity, with Rhule particularly lively when cutting in off the right wing.However, after soaking up plenty of pressure and missing a penalty, Argentina recorded the game’s first try with a swift counter-attack.Joaquin Tuculet’s sensational break set them going before he offloaded to Boffelli on his shoulder, the winger subsequently placing a grubber kick that Landajo scooped up to score.Nicolas Sanchez missed the resulting conversion to leave the visitors one behind, but their deficit grew before the break as Skosan broke a challenge on his way to a first Springbok try.Courtnall Skosan flies over for his first Test try. #LoveRugby pic.twitter.com/dwfikqfuSc— South African Rugby (@Springboks) August 19, 2017Penalties were exchanged by Sanchez and Jantjies after the restart but South Africa slowly started to wrestle control back, and 12 minutes into the second half Rhule took the game away from Argentina.The Springboks worked the ball out to the right before Jaco Kriel unleashed the explosive Rhule, the winger showing electrifying pace to evade the Argentina defence on his way to the line.When Boffelli went over with 21 minutes remaining – Juan Martin Hernandez converting – a tense finale seemed in the offing, but home favourite Kolisi settled any nerves.The back-row forward was on hand to cap of another flowing passing move from the Springboks, the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium rising to salute their local hero.Substitute Du Toit rounded off the win by burrowing his way to the line to complete a fine outing for the hosts.

Lopetegui: “We wanted to claim as a team”
Locker room: “The boys were sad because the losses hurt us like the Sevillans. We weren’t having the prize we deserved but we have to have peace of mind and confidence in the work. We have to think about the final we have on Thursday before the Cluj.”Defending: “Not fitting has been important, because we came from matches where we received goals with very little.”Few changes: “We wanted to give continuity to the work we did before the Cluj and we understood that Getafe could have similar connotations.”Vaclik: “Hopefully it’s nothing serious.” Victory: “We are happy because it is a victory against a complex opponent and in a scenario where we wanted to claim as a team. We did a great job.”Coliseum: “It is a very complex field, they have it very clear and fortunately we made a good game, besides being blunt. We have made the game we needed.”
‘Magician’ Monchi removes his top hat to sign in Ligue 1
He fishing ground francés always been very auspicious for Monchi and Sevilla. In fact, in his last season before his return to Seville, Monchi left in the template to the two players for which more money has been taken out in the last two seasons: Lenglet, which came from Nancy, and Ben Yedder, absolute top scorer of the team in the last three courses, which was signed from the Tolouse for eight million and sold five times as much to Monaco this summer.But contrary to what may seem, sign in France to players who give sports and economic performance it is not a kid’s game. And as no one pokes at someone else’s head, the best has received corrective Own Seville in the two years that Monchi has not been at the forefront of his planning. Without going any further, last season Sevilla signed from Lille Amadou and from Rennes to Gnagnon for 30 million euros between the two. After a disappointing season, the first is on loan at Leganes after having been in Norwich in the first part of the season. GnagnonFor his part, he also returned on loan to Rennes, where maybe i can stay at the end of the season but for much less than 15 million that Sevilla paid for him.A year before, only came from France a transfer: Corchia. The winger spent a year at Sevilla, he played last on loan at Benfica Y this one in Espanyol, where injuries have massacred him. In this way, it is confirmed that to remove rabbits from the Ligue 1 top hat you need a magician like Monchi, who adds three more names to the extensive list in which there are illustrious people who left a lot of football and even more money like the mentioned Lenglet and Ben Yedder, in addition to Keita, Gameiro or Krychowiak. He idyll that monchi keeps with French Ligue 1 he has not been interrupted by his two seasons in Rome. On his return to Nervión, the sports director has returned to incorporate your best signings of the season for Sevilla from the neighboring country, getting these high both the performance of the team and its market value with an eye on future transfers that leave profits in Seville coffers.Are the cases of Ocampos, Diego Carlos and Koundé, arrived from the Olympique de Marseille, Nantes and Girondins de Bordeaux. And although the most disappointing addition to the season, Rony Lopes, the level of the three transfers mentioned above will also come from France (specifically from Monaco) outshine this slip, since Ocampos is the team’s top scorer, Diego Carlos one of the best central defenders of the championship and Koundé one of the defenders with higher projection of Europe.

ST EUNANS’ COLLEGE 5K GETS UNDER STARTER’S ORDERS!
Pictured are some of the Transition Year 5k Committee, James McMonagle, Chairperson LK Credit Union, Gordon Randles LKCU Manager, Attracta Winters, Chairperson St Eunan’s Parents’ Association, Brian Harkin ,LKCU, Ted McLaughlin, LKCU, Eva McCloskey, LKCU Youth Officer, Jim Toner, LKCU & Gary McDaid, St Eunan’s CollegeSaint Eunan’s Parents’ Association, Staff and the Transition Year 5k Committee launched their 5K event this week along with representatives of Letterkenny Credit Union. The Credit Union is kindly sponsoring the event which is to take place on Thursday 10th of April at 7.15pm. Enrolment for the 5K will take place in the College Recreation Hall from 6pm onwards prior to the start of the race.Chris Darby, Principal of Saint Eunan’s College wants to encourage as many people in the local community to take part as possible. “We had a fantastic turn out last year with almost 600 people taking part. We want 5k 2014 to be as much fun and are encouraging our students past, present and new students starting in September 2014 and their families to join in.“We are welcoming both walkers and competitive runners and all participants are invited back to the school for refreshments at the end of course. We would like to thank Letterkenny Credit Union for their sponsorship of the 5k, Letterkenny Athletic Club for their involvement and indeed all the local businesses who have supported College fundraising events throughout the year.”School Staff, the Parents’ Association and TY Committee envisage the 5k very much as a community event and feel that participants enjoying themselves is the most important aspect of the evening.Fundraising is however increasingly important to the Committee as the school has so many students very successfully involved in both sports and academic pursuits. This week sees St Eunan’s Senior Team progress to the final of the McLarnon Cup, the Senior Rugby Team are this years Ulster Champions, St Eunan’s Students are competing in the Maths Olympiad and the college has a team in the IMTA National Final Team Math Competition. Most of these projects require some degree of financial support be it in terms of travel, equipment or materials.“The Parents’ Association are only too aware of the difficulties facing the school in terms of facilities and current financial challenges. Despite this Saint Eunan’s Students continue to excel and it is for this reason that we as parents and a community need to get behind the school and support it in any way we can. We are heartened that refurbishment has commenced in a number of areas in the school buildings and plans are afoot to expand the existing facilities and bring them up to date. The boys both current and future deserve the best.” says Attracta Winters, Chairperson of the Parents Association. “Coming into St Eunan’s on a more regular basis I can’t help but notice how clean, tidy & well maintained the building is despite its advancing years and high impact usage. The staff and students must take credit for this as they continue to operate a school of 850 students to a very high level in a building which was built for a much smaller number of students.“Working on projects such as the Mock Interview Workshop, the 5K and assisting at school events, we as Committee Members are in the unique position of coming into contact with the students as outsiders. We are continually impressed by the students, their willingness to work hard, be involved in committee events and their good manners with ourselves and other visitors. We have on numerous occasions received very positive feedback from visitors regarding the fine manner in which the boys conduct themselves.”Prizes are being offered for the top 3 competitors in each category, Senior Men, Senior Women, Junior Male, Junior Female and Team.The Team Category is open to groups of 5 runners who wish to run together as a Team and are encouraging not only those from Saint Eunan’s soccer, gaelic and basketball teams to put together a team but also teams from other schools and sports organisations. Spot Prizes are also on offer. Anyone interested in helping at the 5k can contact the Parents Association by e-mail: parents@sainteunans.com.
