It is 40 degree’s here in Slaapstad. I pity these poor bastards having to play rugby in this heat.
1 @ Loosehead:
Wow, that’s hot!
Will be good though, if it comes up here to Gautengeleng… it has really been cool the last few days… can do with a bit of heat again.
OK, shuffle up!
Players out on the Field on the Green Mile… we’re waiting for the Anthem
Nkosi
Goooooooo Rugby!
Can’t expect me to support either Cape side…. hehehe
Game ON!
1St penalty goes to Maties.
At least the wind does not seem bad there on the Green Mile today, where the wind usualy causes all sorts of problems there against the mountain
Another Maties penalty
Maties hard on attack and they are playing advantage… penalty given
… and the 4th penalty already for Maties… in the space of less than 5 minutes
Try Maties… the hooker, Gericke
Maties 5 / 0 UCT
5th penalty for Maties, on the UCT 22
I’ll be here in a sec.
UCT tuns the ball over near their own line and kick it out
Yellow Card as UCT concedes their 6th penalty
14 @ Loosehead:
Yeah, come join me here!
Maties over the line.
TMO
Ball unsighted… could go either way
Scrum 5 ruled… could not see the ball grounded
This time UCT gets a penalty… and they relieve pressure
Strategy break
Pink ball time on the Green Mile
I should have said, Pink ball time on the Green Mile where the team in Wine Red leads the Team in White and Blue stripes, officiated by the Referee in Green and Yellow….
That’s about all the colours of the Rainbow!
UCT pulls the score back a bit with a 2-point penalty goal slotted.
Maties 5 / 2 UCT
Try Gericke again, off a good driving maul
Maties 13 / 2 UCT
I am here. What a busy day.
Just saw the try.
Bliksem, those young student girls…………..
28 @ Loosehead:
Slow down there cowboy… them dames will give you angina….!
Hahaha
Donner, the Maaties 3 looks about 40.
