Strong start by Belgium in their first match of Melrose 7s 2016. Aberdeen Grammar FPs 14/34 Belgium. Grammar beat Glasgow Hawks in their first round game while Belgium started playing in the second round.
A player called Vincent Mallet in Seventise squad a team from France who are now playing against Watsonians.
Ally Miller just scored a try for Melrose against Currie. Currie 12/17 Melrose. Miller looks a bit like a young Richie McCaw, think he is a current Scotland U20s open side flanker
Players out on the field!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
Sharks with all the early ball and now very close to the Lions line!
Good Lions defence on their own line.
Lions relieving penalty on their own 5m line from the scrum.
22 Drop in by the Lions
Try Jaco Kriel, Lions!
TMO to look for a forward pass by Jantjies…. was forward if you ask me…
Ruled a forward pass indeed!
Going to be a hard game, this one!
Lions kickable penalty… kicked into the corner for a 5m lineout.
Try Lions?
Ref says no and takes them back to a 5m penalty for the Lions.
TMO after all…
Looks good to me as a try!
Try awarded to Andries Ferreira, Lions!
Sharks 0 / 7 Lions
Lions scrum penalty again…
Sharks steal the Lions lineout but they cannot control it and knock… Lions scrum again!
Once again the Lions get a scrum penalty, this one against Coenie die Boef on the Sharks tighthead for collapsing the scrum.
Sharks 0 / 10 Lions
The echo in here is deafening – one of the biggest local derby’s of the year, and GBS, you’re on your own.
20 @ Just For Kicks:
Ah well, between you and me we are in good company.
Lots of Guests doing the “Roofkyker” thing.
Melrose 7s quarter final result: Edinburgh Accies 28/14 Gala
Lions certainly up for this
Jed Forest v Belgium quarterfinal has just started
Try for Jed in first minute
Lions so far by far the stronger and most constructive side
Lions penalty, No 13 off his feet… quick tap… called back, not back 10m.
Now right in front from close range… will be a shot at goal.
Sharks get a stern team warning.
21 @ grootblousmile:What did you say to everyone to scare them away? Or do you think (more seriously) that there is a general apathy to South African rugby nowadays, because we used to have loads of chaps on at Superrugby time. Sad really.
Beast’s pleas falling on deaf ears… and rightly so!
Sharks 0 / 13 Lions
