Suddenly UCT ahaead by 2 points
UCT 19 / 17
Relieving penalty for Tuks as UCT now looking dangerous
Skew by new Tuks hooker into the lineout… eishhhhhhhhhh
Tuks making silly mistakes and letting UCT now do all the play….
Penalty Tuks… difficult one but kickable.
10m line of UCT
Missed.. badly
22m drop out
4 min left… Tuks scrum on the 22 of UCT
Penalty UCT…
Another penalty UCT, kickable
Golden chance for Tuks squandered, knock by Groepes
UCT win by 2
Tuks 3 tries to 1… but they lose…. oi vei
dankie ref en lynregters, daardie ‘drie’ van uct was so 2 meter vorentoe.
@ bdb:
bwhahaha, altyd die ref??
kp, feite ou maat, was dit vorentoe of nie, wees eerlik.
wonder of maties ook hul eie ref het ? 😉
Game On between Maties & UJ!
Great scrum by UJ
Looks like the Maties did not cut the grass of the pitch… was that on purpose… hehehe
Very, very heavy pitch…. as UJ drives from a lineout, now 8m out from Maties line…. Tryyyyyyyyyyy UJ!!
Lolo Waka was the scorer
Worsie (Theuns) Kotze misses the conversion
UJ 5 / 0
The grass is so long it must feel like a mattress falling on it…. hulle sal mekaar wi spyker in plaas van rugby speel…. hehehe
One cannot drop a goal with grass this long, it simply won’t bounce.
Penalty UJ, right in front on the 22… from a scrum
Kotze misses the sitter
Have you guys ever seen a rugby field this poorly prepared…. apart from playing on sand or thorns or between anthills, somewhere in the boendoes?
I once played a game as a little lighty in the platteland, where there was a thorn tree on about the 15m line near the 22m line… one had to run around the thing… and dodge the dubbeltjies.
Almost another try for UJ… last pass going astray
Monsterous scrum by UJ, totally demolishing the Maties scrum
