Wonder if Maties will win this competition this year again…. their rugby is bloody good and to a large extent still a good leftover from the days when Club Rugby was huge in SA, where thousands of us rocked up at big Club Matches, specially the Easter Club Champs in Durban every year.
Club rugby was like our curent provincial rugby, whereas in those dark days without International rugby by SA (due to the boycots), our Provincial rugby almost had “TEST STATUS”
Club rugby needs to become more prominent again, for SA rugby to grow.
Well, regarding this game I think Ikeys should take it…..
OK, 1st Varsity Cup game about to start!
Game on
Lots of constructive ball for Ikeys, early on.
Penalty for Shimlas, deep in their own half
Try Ikeys No 6, Don Armand
Converted
Ikeys 7 / 0
Go Shimlas, nou moeg om elke keer dieselfde span te sien wen.. elke jaar is daar net n paar spanne wat om die trofee meeding en die res maak net nommers op……..
yes yes back from work
Bit scrappy overall
dag aan al die rugby-fans go Stormers!!!!!!:)

Hello Scrumsaam.
Wat gaan ons SA spanne doen in die Super Rugby reeks?
Die ouens met die pienk broeke trek mens se aandag nogal
@ grootblousmile: om eerlik te wees dink ek die nuwe formaat is n bol dinges, maar om te judge wat saterdag gebeur het gaan die jaar hard wees dink die cheetahs en lions gaan nogsteeds fight vir die laaste plek……
Penalty for Shimlas, slotted
Ikeys 7 / 3

12@ Scrumsaam:
Ek dink dat spelersterkte is meer eweredig verspreid oor die SA spanne hierdie jaar as vantevore.
Die Lions lyk lus vir dinge…
Moeilik om te se wat gaan gebeur.
Ek hou ook vet mooi nokkol van die nuwe formaat van die Super Rugby reeks….
2nd Half on
Die lions is soos die Franse span as hul die dag opdaag dan is daar groot perde vir die ander span maar die volgende week kan hul ook met 50 punte verloor…
Hoop net daar is n paar verassings in die jaar se varsity cup, raak bietjie so voorspelbaar soos n hollywood movie……
@ grootblousmile:
Kyk alle spanne wil n goeie begin he, nou is dit so dat die Bulle die laaste 2 jaar hul eerste 5 gewen het, as ek dit nie mis het nie.
So so goed soos die Leeus dink hulle is moet hulle hoop die Bulle is nie op spoed van die begin af nie.
Want as die Bulle op vorm is kan ons n begin soos laasjaar he
Hierdie game sukkel maar om behoorlik aan die gang te kom…. klomp foute
Penalty to Ikeys and slotted by Demetri Catrakilis
Ikeys 10 / 3
Elke span se diepte gaan getoets word die jaar, n mens hoor elke keer van hoe goed die spanne se rugby akademies is ens hierdie jaar is dit uit haal en wys tyd…
Another easy Ikeys penalty
Ikeys 13 / 3
@ Scrumsaam:
die belangrikste akedemie is in die kop en daar het ons 2 van die beste sport sielkundiges in HM en FL. Ek praat nie groot nie maar die feit is waar die ander nog probeer om dit te laat werk is ons al goed aan die gang.
@ superBul:
wel sal saam jou stem op daai punt, dit als begin in die kop.. as jy nie in jouself glo nie gaan niemand anders in jou glo nie…
net een vraag wie is die “ons”?
Jinne, another Ikeys penalty….
Ikeys 16 / 3
Kan nou nie onthou hoe ek gepick het nie, weet ek het Ikeys gepick vir ‘n wen, maar met hoeveel weet ek nou nie
@ Scrumsaam:
Seker maar die Bulle 😆
@ grootblousmile:
GBS met 7
Brachie going for a looong penalty for Ikeys… it is wide and short
@ superBul:
Kon geraai het 🙂 in die kaap glo ons nie in kop dokters nie n bottle van en n stuk snoek sal enige man maak glo….
