GO PUMAS!
Watching the Lions giving the Sharks an absolute pasting in the ’99 final
Getting close to kick off.
Blades warming his throat
Jimmy Stonehouse is looking for 5 points tonight…..and what Jimmy wants, his boys better deliver, they don’t want to end up on the wrong side of headlock by Jimmy
Seems only us three here tonite, lekker man…niemand om mens kuk te byt nie
@ Pietman:
He he, praat jy.
Jy die thread gesien oor Hilton College en Glenwood?
Both sides out on the field.
Go Pumas!
Griquas kick off and straight away a penalty to the Pumas, man played in the air
Nie gesien, pas ingekom, sal netnou kyk.
Pumas showing some intent to run, another penalty, offsides this time
@ Pietman:
Laat weet wat jy dink van hulle besluit as jy gelees het
Pumas go for the shot at goal and from the half way line Van Staden succeeds.
Pumas3/Griquas 0
Griquas with some great phases and ball retention.
Line out steal by Kwas, good attacking position, just inside Pumas 22.
Scrum penalty to Kwas, easy kick for goal.
Brummer misses a relative sitter.
Blades says there is a swirling wind
Another penalty to Kwas, they set up a line out between the 22 and half way
Strong work by the Kwas forwards, they are gaining good ground, but cough up the ball
Griquas enjoying the majority of possession and also field position, but unforced errors costing them
Brummer goes for a drop kick, just short
Grant, the 10 from Kwas off, looks like a knock to the head.
Marais in jersey 22 comes on for his debut
Pumas defending for all they are worth, it’s all Griquas, but Schoeman drops the ball with an open tryline.
The Puma’s nr 9, van Rooyen off injured
Very good scrum by the Pumas, 5m from their tryline, where Schoeman knocked on.
Penalty won and relieving kick
Schoeman always worth his match fees in each game he plays…Bulls could have done with him right now, but alas, another player lost.
Players being injured at a serious rate.
Defense from both sides relentless.
Grant comes back on after passing his concussion test
Kwas controlling the game in all facets of play now except on the score board, powerful stuff, they seem physically superior to Pumas, somewhat surprisingly…
Pumas just defending.
It’s all Kwas these last 15 minutes
Kwas again making two vital errors, first turned ball over, then after winnin it back, a forward kicks it away
52 tackles by Pumas against the 13 of the Griekwas in 20 minutes.
Totally superior at this stage.
But again a vital knock on by Kwas on the Pumas tryline
