Hellooooooooooo!
Players out on the field and yet another singer raping Nkosi… eishhhh
Game On!
Madibaz Kick-off!
Game is played in a very wet Joburg… we’ve had incessant rain for days now.
Madibaz penalty, inside Wits 22, right in front but they go for touch
Mucked it up… in rain like this, you take the points when on offer, even if it is only 2 points at a time
Madibaz scrum penalty, scrumming in by the Wits loosehead prop
Skew throw into the lineout by NMMU…
Wits scrum penalty, after they were pushed back some distance by NMMU
Another Wits penalty, but they lose their lineout.
Dour rugby, to say the least.
NMMU penalty, 6 going straight to ground
In this weather, it’s attrition rugby…
NMMU knock, about 12m out
Wits penalty and not 10m away… NMMU gets marched 10m more and cops a yellow card
Wits 2 / 0 NMMU
A Penalty slotted by Torrence
Wits looking bad in the scrums but good in general play… under the weather conditions
Strategy break, 1st Half
Another kickable Wits penalty… they go for goal
Wits 4 / 0 NMMU
Try NMMU, Chris Cloete!
NMMU 5 / 4 Wits
Wits copa Yellow Card, Rinus Bothma
GOO nnnnmmooooo
Madibaz pile on the pressure at scrumtime, Wits forced to carry it over and dot down.
5m NMMU scrum.
NMMU lose the ball over the tryline, Dlepu
NMMU tighthead… but Wits get a relieving penalty after the scrum
Lemoenetyd
2nd Half ON!
Wits about 6m out… and they knock…
NMMU kick it farrr upfield and eventually it goes out, massive ground lost by Wits
Sory, TV feed is down at the game… we are all blind….
Ai, Proteas kom sleg 2de in hierdie laaste toets.
Ons kon hul in 2 volle dae nie uitboul nie, en hulle doen dit sommer vinnig in 87 beurte.
Al die vinnige boulers van Aussies het opgedaag vir die toets, Morkel en Abbott glad nie. Aussies kolf gemaklik teen 4/5 lopies ‘n beurt teen hulle.
As daar ooit ‘n game is wat Graeme Smith sy deel moet begin bydra, is dit sy laaste kans met die kolf more net so na middagete. Niks minder as ‘n 200tal alleen gaan die toets red nie.
