Tuks by a bucket load!
Here’s one for the Tuks and Bulls fans 🙂
Not going to be around for this one, so here’s hoping for a good win for Tuks, YEAH TUKS!
News is that Antonie Claassen, son of Wynand, is included in the French side
UCT running out….
Get your hats on, shuffle up!
Tuks running out too…
Anthem!
Gooooooooooo Tuks
Hey Tuks, hey Tuks…. yeah Tuks!
Game ON!
Immediate kick-off mistake by UCT as the kick-off is fluffed out to touch
Tuks penalty, and this one is kickable… Schoeman goes for touch though
Lineout maul and advantage being played to Tuks.
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Jean Cook
That was a maul of almost 20m!
Tuks 8 / 0 UCT
I must say that this comp has me beat. I cannot get to my picks in time. Multi tasking is just not for me I guess.
14 @ Stormersboy:
Hehehehe, look where I’m on the Bru Log…. not good either…
Bad knock by Bax of UCT
Good steal on the ground by UCT on the Tuks attack
Lohan Jacobs kicks directly into touch from a ball stolen in the lineout by Tuks
Wish Lohan Jacobs would not kick needlessly.
Ref comes back for a high tackle on Tiaan Scoeman
Tiaan Schoeman kicks it too deep, and they come back for the scrum…. wasted opportunity!
Come talk to us, fellas… this is Rugby-Talk, not Rugby-Spectate
Tuks will have to protect their ground ball better, they are doing all the attack just for the ball to be stolen at critical times
Jeeeez, Tuks are squandering chances with simple errors!
Strategy Break
With the quality possession and getting over the advatage line like Tuks have done so far, they should have been comfortably ahead by now
My VIP Box feed isn’t working, so I’m off for a swim. Catch you all later.
26 @ Stormersboy:
Tjorts….
Tuks steal a vital ground ball and gets the penalty to boot for holding on, on the ground… very attacking lineout now
Another silly error… eish man!
High tackle by Tuks, penalty UCT
