What the are the scrums like in this tournament? Are there still a lot of resets like in Super Rugby?
1 @ Labuschagne:
Yeah, the scrums are a problem overall in rugby!
There’s a bit of rugby news to add, so let me get to it!!
OK, shuffle up, players about to take to the field.
Ikeys out on the field.
Shimlas also now out on the field.
Anthem!
Heinrich Brussow’s wife singing the anthem… Caroline-Grace Brussow!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by Shimlas!
Late refereeing change, the refs are Rodney Bonaperte & Francois Pretorius!
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Shimlas!
Gerhard Olivier!
Shimlas 5 / 0 UCT
We have the thick ext-postman, Andy Capistagno, doing English TV commentary, oh my greatness the man is a dufuss!
Shimlas starting very well, hogging all the possession so far
UCT scrum, 8m inside their own half
Early shove by Shimlas, UCT Free Kick.
Shimlas steal the ball and attack, just to lose the ball on the UCT 22… then UCT loses the ball and Shimlas’ Dolo is tackled out very near the UCT line!
An Ikeys player down… not looking good, looks like a knee gone pot!
It is Warren Seals, UCT flyhalf and points machine… he is assisted off the field
Ikeys relieving penalty, 5m from their own line
Shimlas steals the Ikeys lineout
Shimlas of course coached by Franco Smith, ex Bok centre / Flyhalf who played for Griquas & the Bulls and then for Treviso… and then coached Treviso.
Shimlas a difficult Beast in 2015!!
UCT penalty, near halfway, kicked to touch, lineout 15m out
Arghhh come on TV feed!
UCT 2m out…
Then over… TMO
Xoli the scorer… dove over the ruck.
Ruled off his feet and a relieving penalty to Shimlas
Brilliant attack by Shimlas after their lineout…
UCT lineout maul held up, then it collapsed, turnover scrum to Shimlas, inside the UCT 22, far side of the field, near touch
Tryyyyyy Shimlas!
Johan van der Hoogt!
Giftig!
Shimlas 13 / 0 UCT
