Game ON!
OK, almost done with the Article… chat so long!
Try for Jaco Swanepoel for NMMU…. unconverted.
NMMU 5 / 0 UCT
Penalty to NMMU… kickable
Attacking scrum for the Madibas, turns into another penalty for them, which they also choose not to kick for goal
The Madibas seems to have 2 sides… the one which gives the bigger teams a good go… and the one which gets clobbered to kingdom come.
Hell, the Madibas even won against Kovsies…
Ikeys on the other hand is not half the side they were last year… not half!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy No 2 for the Madibas…. Ikeys did not know what hit them here!
Crocker scored… Gerrit Smit slots the conversion
NMMU 13 / 0 UCT
Try Dillyn Leyds for UCT
NMMU 13 / 5 UCT
Madibas must’nt be tentative now… they’re even holding back in defence… and UCT is getting the opportunity to find their rhytm!
Penalty UCT, they kick for touch…. very attacking lineout.
Another penalty to UCT, 8m out… tap and go.
Madibas steal the ball… and Martin du Toit finds a good touch
UCT back on attack… and they get yet another penalty.
Madibas steal the ball again… and Du Toit finds a good touch again.
UCT much stronger now, Madibas scrambling well.
Penalty Madibas… a relieving one.
Damn, I’ve been chatting to myself for the whole first half….
Try to Tiger Bax for UCT… marvelous running against lazy defence.
NMMU 13 / 13 UCT
Lemoenetyd
2 Nd Half ON!
UCT immediately back on attack.
Hell, UCT would have to play out of their skins to make my Bru come true… I picked UCT by 33… hehehehe
Penalty to NMMU, from a scrum… relieving the pressure
19@ grootblousmile:Howzit GBS, I’ve been so busy, when I looked at my watch, it was 5.30 pm, and I missed the pick!!!!
21 @ Just For Kicks:
