OK, shuffle up for Varsity CUP rugby!
Players out on the pitch.
A Minute’s silence for the death of Tjol Lategan, ex Maties, WP and Springbok centre!
Anthem!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by UJ!
Tryyyyyyyyy Adriaan Vermeulen, UJ!
UJ 8 / 0 Maties
UJ in on the side of the ruck… Maties penalty on UJ 22.. kicked towards the corner
UJ get the overthrown lineout ball and attack from close to their own line… they get all the way to the Maties 22
UJ penalty advantage is played
Maties get a relieving penalty on their own 5m line….
Jeeez, Maties are not fresh this year…. very, very bad indeed!
love this commentary by the way, I cant watch these games..
How is the Maties scrum this year?
Maties knock at the back of their own lineout after the penalty.
UJ scrum… let’s see how the heavies go!
11 @ Labuschagne:
Maties overall are utterly crappy this year… very young side.
Maties get a scrum penalty…
Deliberate collapse of the Maties maul ruled… penalty on the UJ 22… kicked out 8m out
UJ steal the lineout yet again… and a great clearance kick
11 @ Labuschagne:
You’re in Aussie, hey…
Wonder if you are family of Johan Labuschagne, of the Springs area here in Gauteng… I know he has family in Aussie.
UJ penalty this time, holding on, De Klerk of Maties, the tighthead
@ grootblousmile:
haha nah im a local boy, I just like Lappies
UJ with a lineout overthrow… and UJ knock right at the back of the lineout.
Lineouts are a shambles in this game!!
19 @ Labuschagne:
Oh, OK… where from then, Lappe No 2?
UJ No 8 holds the Maties maul up… turnover scrum
Maties in on the side of the ruck… UJ penalty, 1m inside their own half
Vicky Victoria, jou moepel… kom gesels saam met my en Lappe Nr 2!
@ grootblousmile:
Sydney
I know quite a few South Africans here from Pretoria, they tend to all know each other and are great cooks, had some nice Vetkoeks the other day, pretty tasty
Strategy Break, 1st half
25 @ Labuschagne:
Good stuff man, vetkoek is “lekker” (meaning very tasty)…. oil fried batter, then one puts mince or cheese & honey inside afterwards…
You should try to get your hands on some Koeksusters and some Biltong… the saffa ex-pats will be glad to oblige!
Stellenbosch is a nice student town… with Stellenberg in the background… not far from nice places like Paarl, Strand ect.
Of course right in the middle of wine country.
It’s nice to have a lekker global rugby website… here we are, a South African in SA, a Canadian expat saffa in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and an Aussie MATE in Sydney… all loving the same sport…
Maties manage to turn over a sloppy UJ ball on the Maties 5m line…
