Handbags… little ones… hehehe
5m Penalty to UCT
Odendaal, captain of UCT down, knee injury
High Tackle on Blommetjies….
Odendaal down again, and Tuks have a lineout, 9m out
Again UCT steals the ball, 3m from their own goal line
… and the pattern repeats itself… Tuks attack, ball gets robbed a few metres out
Lemoenetyd
Let’s call this the half of squandered chances… must have been 8 or 10 opportunities not grabbed by Tuks
2Nd Half on!
Maul over try by Tuks again… Shaun Adendorf

Try Willemse, hooker of UCT, under the sticks
Tuks 16 / 8 UCT
Tuks knock, 5m from the UCT line… Blommetjies the guilty party
Nee flok…. mistakes, mistakes by Tuks.
A better side would have punished them for those unforced errors
Tuks get a defensive scrum, 5m from their own line as UCT makes a forward pass
… and Blommetjies knocks again…. ai man
Pollard on too… and looks like he’s quite adept with the left boot too
Skosan picks up a scrap near his own line and races the lenght of the field to score for Tuks
Tuks 24 / 8 UCT
UCT now with a lineout on the Tuks 22 after a penalty taken to touch
UCT with another peanlty… and this time a very attacking lineout
10 minutes to go, I’ve had good company here, talking all to myself
Tighthead by Tuks
Late tackle on Bax, penalty UCT
Come on Tuks, we need 1 more try for the Bonus point!
