Massive tackle on Pukke’s Cupido!
Still no score, 37 min gone!
Superb defence, both sides!!
This game has everything… except scores on the board…. yet!
Pukke lineout, on their own 5m line…
This will be a pressure lineout…
Maties Free Kick, tap and go!
Maties over, held up!
Maties 5m scrum… can they convert it into points?
Lemoenetyd
NO SCORE!
When last did we see a rugby match without any score at halftime?
And it’s not as if the teams have not tried or that it was dour rugby… it was all action all the way!
2nd Half ON!
Maties penalty, 15m from touch, 15m out… Maties opt to go for posts… right decision!
Maties 3 / 0 Pukke
Maties almost score… knock at the last, with an open line begging!
Maties kickable penalty again, on the Pukke 22… shot again!
Maties 6 / 0 Pukke
Freegin hell, any of these 2 sides would run the Southern Kings ragged!
Maties penalty, well inside their own half… excellent touchfinder, deep inside the Pukke 22.
Maties playing the right, tight game now… 7m out
Superb attack and phases by Maties, equally superb Pukke defence.
This game is an excellent show piece for Varsity Cup rugby…
Something has to give, somewhere… surely the players cannot maintain this pace…
Maties kick out directly… Pukke lineout on about the Maties 10m line
Maties scrum, on their own 10m line, after a Pukke knock in the tackle.
Strategy Break, 2nd Half!
Pink ball time for the last time in 2016…
Strong Maties scrum, scrum penalty!
20 Minutes to go in the Final!
Pukke penalty, all over the ball on the floor.
Handbags are out again!
Try Brandon Asher-Wood, Maties… a 9-pointer!
TMO
No try…. out and lost the ball!
That’s what MY verdict is…
Lost forward ruled, 5m defensive scrum to Pukke!
