Anthem.. a children’s School Choir singing it

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:45 pm

Anthem done… game time
5

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:47 pm

Game ON!

Kick-Off by NMMU!

Remember the new rules… 2 Refs, the White Cards and the scrum rule where the scrummie may not go beyond the mouth of the scrum!

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:48 pm

Of course, last year’s rule that a try conversion counts 3 points and not 2 and a penalty counts only 2 in stead of 3, as well as the Mark Anywhere rule, still also apply!

Pukke penalty deep in their own half…
8

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:50 pm

NMMU steals the Pukke lineout

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:52 pm

There we see the scrum rule in action, where the scrummie has to stand back… the result is cleaner ball and much more attacking positions from the scrum.

Pukke over the line…

They go back for a 5m Pukke scrum

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:53 pm

Pukke penalty, on the NMMU line… ok, 5m line it is.
11

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:54 pm

Will be interesting to see what the teams do to try and nullify the scrummie rule…
12

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:55 pm

Madibaz get a defensive penalty, hands in the scrum
13

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 4:55 pm

Madibaz kick out directly, very silly error
14

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:02 pm

Tryyyyyyyy Pukke… shoddy Madibaz defence!

Try from the scrum…. 1st phase ball will become a good attacking platform with the scrummie rule!
15

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:03 pm

Pukke 5 / 0 NMMU
16

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:06 pm

Try Pukke again, running the Madibaz silly
17

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:07 pm

Pukke 10 / 0 NMMU
18

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:09 pm

NMMU penalty, behind their own 10m line
19

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:10 pm

Pukke looking white hot
20

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:11 pm

1st water break… then it will be pink ball time
21

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:13 pm

Good work on the ground by Pukke, steals the ball and gets the penalty
22

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:15 pm

Pink ball gone again…
23

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:16 pm

Looks like the stronger scrums will want to wheel the scrum, to nullify the new scrum rule somewhat…
24

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:17 pm

Pukke fullback, Rhyno Smith seems like a livewire…
25

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:19 pm

One of the Refs not happy and Madibaz cop a Yellow… Skosana
26

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:21 pm

NMMU get a relieving penalty… but the writing is on the wall here, looks like Pukke is controlling almost everything
27

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:22 pm

Good Madibaz maul, lots of gound made
28

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:23 pm

Card for Pukke No 7, cynical not back 10 after a penalty
29

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:24 pm

Madibaz 5m lineout
30

grootblousmile on 9 February 2015 at 5:24 pm

Pukke get the turnover scrum, maul held up
