20 Minutes to go to this afternoon’s first game
UJ should win this one with ease… but then again we thought that Shimlas would easily bet NMMU last week too!
Players coming out
Who will do the Anthem… will it be butchered or mastered?
Well, not the flashest voice, but at least he knows the words
Game ON!
Dwergie is the referee, the man that sees EVERYTING from the bottom up!
UJ maul it over…. Shaun Malton, the hooker
Try time
UJ 8 / 0 NMMU
UJ 3m out again… and then they earn a 5m penalty which they kick to touch
Ref rules a forward pass, preventing a UJ pass… right call
Strat Break
Pink Ball time…. well, I guess the Bulls won’t be able to play with a pink ball when playing away games
UJ with ALL the meaningful ball… they should have been ahead by more, by now
Try by Botha for UJ
I can see I am getting this one wrong again, I really thought after last week NMMU would battle hard, I only got UJ to win by 8. C’mon NMMMMUUUU!
Try No 2 for Chrysander Botha for UJ
15 @ Just For Kicks:
I picked UJ by quite a margin…. thought NMMU’s win was just a flash in the pan
UJ 24 / 0 NMMU
Maul over try by the Madibas, conversion missed
UJ 24 / 5 NMMU
Lemoenetyd
2nd Half ON!
17@ grootblousmile:I saw that, 23 or something
Try NMMU?
TMO
Try awarded
UJ 24 / 10 NMMU
Can the Madibas not kick?I’d be on the money if they were getting the conversions over!
Another half an hour of pressing grapes and then it’s t.v. for me! This match sounds like it’s livening up, Hope I get in to catch the end of it
Strat Break 2
Pink ball time again…
I picked UJ by 23, I see on Bru… 19 minutes to get a further 9 points lead!
Had to toggle a number of things at the same time here for a while, so I have not been as attentive as I should have been
Tryyyy Esterhuizen for UJ
