Some more entertaining rugby coming up? I hope so
Just logged on to say Birthday Greetings to Grootbluesmile….
Hope you have had a great one
Game on
Sias puts it in the cheap seats!
Sias messes the start, scrum WP, ball out wide to Aplon, chip and in next to the posts.
TRY WP
What a start by WP!
Cheetahs get a penalty for off sides. Sias to go for posts
Wrong, Nico Scheepers goes for posts
And over. 7/3 WP
SS have no graphics, so I won’t be able to update time
Huge driving maul by WP
Wp grinding the ball up, keeping the ball in hand. They give away a penalty, but positive rugby. Who remembers that word phases – used to be fashionable – could be making a come back
Sias kicks into touch in the in goal area, and they come back to the half way line for a scrum to WP
Penalty against Brock Harris for scrum infringement. Long kick for Scheepers
Both teams playing Vrystaat rugby..
Good kick. 7/6 WP
Gio looking really good so far. What an exciting player
Ball in touch. Staat line out. Raubenheimer off and Stoltz comes on using his walking stick for support
Staat give away a penalty, and the Cat goes for the touch line on the Staat 22
Staat win the scrum on their 22m
And it ends in a penalty for them as Carstens accused of hand on ground
WP front row really struggling tonight
Silly mistakes by Staat costing them. Scrum WP
Hope you guys get to watch a good game, cheers for now.
Lots of kicking at the moment, ending in a huge kick buy Scheepers to get up to the WP 22
Penalty to WP for high tackle
The Cat kicks to touch. Staat 10m line
Advantage WP being played
Province’s attempts to out kick Scheepers failing. Give it up and keep the ball in hand guys!
And penalty given. Kickable
