Can Maties run away with this match like Tuks did in the other match?
^Don’t think so it ODI cricket with the wind. Score as much as possible whoever is playing with it
A Serious wind blowing at Skelmbos
Just had a laugh with Campo on Twitter. Do you guys know who had the nickname Helmet in the Aussie team?
Madibaz taking to the pitch
Maties also taking to the field… and all 30 players are wearing pink shorts….
Anthem
Flokken students are all ANIMALS!
Very badly trained and almost housebroken animals!
Game ON!
Madibaz playing with the wind in the 1st half
Maties should just play ball-in-hand rugby against this wind, with the players a bit closer to make the passes stick better
Madibas kick it dead, the wind taking it too far
Maties playing with th forwards, as expected.
Madibaz get a relieving penalty
Forward pass by Maties… well forward
@ grootblousmile:
lol its students. Have you ever been to Stellenbosch? It has more alcohol per square meter than the whole of Pretoria!
Madibas knock with the line begging, Mnisi
Think the Ghost of Danie Craven is prowling around on the field lol
Madibaz pinning Maties right back in their 22 at present.
Madibas get a penalty… don’t think they’ll kick for goal… and they don’t
Madibaz just a few metres out… and keeping it there.
Maties get a defending scrum for a Madibas knock
Maties now also get a relieving penalty… but Madibaz attack again
Madibaz with a penalty 10m out… and they knock again
Strat Break, 1st half…. no score still
Madibaz penalty again, right in front
This time Madibaz opt for the scrum in stead of taking these points!
What this strategy break? Like Students ever listen. I am impressed by Chris Russouw and what he has done with this Maties team.
Madibaz get a 5m scrum…. I would have thought that would be a turnover scrum, but is’nt
Kelly knocks the bloody ball.
Should have taken the points when they could
Oh Tim Horan was called Helmet cause his hair never moved when ran all over the park. No wonder he was so hard to tackle lol all amazed by this blond hair not moving a inch
Maties finally out of their half, having been under the kosh for about 20 minutes, and not conceeding a single point
Madibaz kick it dead again… scrum all the way back on the Madibaz 22
Maties close now
