Shimlas starting very well, hogging all the possession so far

UCT scrum, 8m inside their own half
16

grootblousmile on 16 March 2015 at 4:53 pm

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!

grootblousmile on 16 March 2015 at 4:55 pm

An Ikeys player down… not looking good, looks like a knee gone pot!
18

grootblousmile on 16 March 2015 at 4:56 pm

It is Warren Seals, UCT flyhalf and points machine… he is assisted off the field
19

grootblousmile on 16 March 2015 at 4:56 pm

Ikeys relieving penalty, 5m from their own line

grootblousmile on 16 March 2015 at 4:58 pm

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!!
22

grootblousmile on 16 March 2015 at 5:00 pm
