The Boland Cavalliers took on the Griquas this afternoon at 15:00 at Boland Park, Wellington. The Griquas scored 5 tries, earning their bonus point for tries and continue to march towards a possible semi-final. They won 31 / 23.
Boland went ahead early on, leading 6 / 0 after about 12 minutes and put up a game performance right through-out the 80 minutes.
Griquas was clearly focussed on scoring tries and at the end of the First half, Griquas had already scored 3 tries.
Griquas led 21 / 9 at the break.
In the second half the match became a bit stale at times, with Boland scoring te first try in the half, to be countered by a try by Griquas near the end. Boland, however, was not done yet and scored a final try on full time.
For a semi-final contender, Griquas certainly did not look the part. They have tough games ahead against most of the BIG Unions and would have to put foot on the pedal to continue their good run.
Boland has only won one match in 10 weeks of Currie Cup ruby, against the lowly Leopards in round one, deserving to be near the the bottom of the Log.
Griquas now have 34 Currie Cup Log points and temporarily moves to top of the Log.

@Ashley – Ek kyk die game. bietjie van ‘n forward paas gewees. Bad luck.
23@Ed_the_Bull – hoe lyk dit, dink jy ons span gaan wen more op loftus ?
30@Ashley – Ek gaan nie antwoord nie.
@bdd – Ek dink jou spannetjie gaan weer verloor môre. My span kan miskien vanaand in die coke blik wen, maar ek is nie baie seker nie.
34@Ed_the_Lion – Ek het ‘n Game Thread geskeduleer vir die Leeue se game teen die Kolle
Forward pass.
Vandag, 8 jaar gelede, toe daai gevaarlike manne in die geboue daar in die VSA ingevlieg het.
35@grootblousmile – Dankie GBS.
@bdb – Yip, Weer baie trane in die plek vandag.
37@bdb – Ja, 8 jaar…. flok, tyd vlieg… pun intended !
36@Ed_the_Lion – paas = pass
Boland lyk die beter span op die oomblik.
Boland 6 / 0
41@bdb – Ag flok. Vergeet jy is hier. Nou moet ek eers die woordeboek uithaal. 😳
Try Barry Geel… for Kwas
Kwas 7 / 6
45 @grootblousmile –
“Barry Geel” ?
Ek het nog altyd gewonder wat het van ‘Kerrie en Borrie’ van ‘Liewe Heksie’ se dae geword, nou sien ek hy speel deesdae rugby !
Middag manne en WP ondersteuners.
@Supa Die Bloubul – Middag Supa.
47@Supa Die Bloubul – middag
@Ed_the_Lion –
Ek sien Nadal hulle stop toe in die middel van die tiebreak?! Hoop Gonzalez wen daai tie break.
@bdb –
More trap ons die Sardyne ne?
50@Supa Die Bloubul – Ja, ek is verbaas Gonzales hou so mooi in daai game. Nadal se maagspiere gee weer moeilikheid. Weet nog nie hoe laat hulle vandag begin nie. Ek hoop net Kim Clijsters wen die semi vandag.
51@Supa Die Bloubul – ja, ek het ‘n goeie gevoel vir beide die bokke en bulle vir more.
47@Supa Die Bloubul – Hello
@Ed_the_Lion –
Ja ek het gesien. Ek het gaan slaap by 2-2 toe hulle stop vir reen. Dit sal jammer wees as Nadal twee stelle met tie break wen. Gonzalez verdien een!
Ek sien hulle speel nie voor 14:00 New York tyd nie.
53@bdb –
Ek ook. En daai gevoel gaan nog groter word as ons wen more!
55@Supa Die Bloubul – So dit begin later. Kwaai. gee my kans om die rugby te geniet. Go Clijsters!!!
@grootblousmile –
Hoe gaan dinge aan die Oos-rand?
Boland 9 / 7
57@Ed_the_Lion –
Ja go Klijsters, Gonzalez, Federer! En in die finaal moet Wozniacki en Federer wen.
