3 @ Cheetah4eva:
Must admit that I do not know too many of the players for this match, neither from UCT or Shimlas side.
So, I’ve based my Bru picks on historical results and went for Ikeys in the pick… game is played in front of their home crowd, and on that mountain slope the wind does strange things at the Ikeys Rugby ground.
Will be good to see some of these youngsters come through.
In the Tuks vs UJ game I am very familiar with most of the Tukkies names, very much their side which played last year… quite a few players on the outskirts of the Bulls Super Rugby Franchise as well, like Clayton Blommetjies, Wesley Dunlop, Lohan Jacobs.
Interestingly Guy Cronje is at No 10 for UJ and Justin Wheeler is their captain… also well-known names.
Hope EVERYBODY’s Varsity Cup picks are in on SuperBru… 20 minutes or so to kick-off
OK, shuffle up… rugby time
They start with our National Anthem
Up to date, quick comments please, I’m still pressing, and won’t make it home for the start of the match!
I see there’s even a Kaapse Klopse, on his guitar
Dwergie, is the referee for the match
Game ON!
Ikeys immediately on attack
Ikeys about 15m out
Almost through, but the stern Dwergie blows a relieving penalty to Shimlas
Tryyyyyyyy, Luiters for Shimlas!
Shimlas 8 / 0 Ikeys
Yes, you saw right, 8 points for a converted try
Shimlas on fire here
Shimlas steal a UCT ball at the lineout, gone wrong
Another Shimlas try…
TMO
Should be awarded to PW van Vuuren, the hooker
Difficult decision…
Try awarded
Oh dear!!!
NMMU Young Guns wing Lizalise Nyaku scores within the first minute of their clash with Pukke. 5-0 to NMMU
Shimlas 16 / 0 Ikeys
Penalty UCT, kickable but the opt for touch
Fiery start to the game, very fast rugby
Ikey scrum, 5m out
Try to Ikeys… Dillyn Leyts, No 15
Shimlas 16 / 5 Ikeys
26@ grootblousmile:very fast rugby – does that mean the match will be over quicker, or will they slow down towards the end to finish on time?
29 @ Just For Kicks:
Looks like they all ate their Snap, Cracle & Pop this morning!
Knowing students, it’s likely to have been Smack, Crack & Pot!
