Tuks 22 / 26 Pukke
Tuks defensive patterns and organization has not been good.
Almost a Pukke try… from an intercept
But there’s a Tuks penalty.
Hooter has gone… But of course they will play the lineout.
Lemoenetyd
Tuks forwards are strong but Pukke have exploited the Tuks soft moments on defence….
What’s extremely nice about the new rules for Varsity Cup is that if a player gets a Red Card, he is off for 15 minutes and then replaced by another player (so the Red-carded player does not get back on).
2nd Half ON!
Tuks penalty, Barnard over the ball.
Try Tuks?
Did he control it?
No… he dropped it!
No try.
Pukke defensive 5m scrum.
Try Werner Fourie, Tuks hooker… his 2nd.
This one also a 7-point try!
Tuks 31 / 26 Pukke
Pukke scrum, 4m outside the Tuks 22.
Subs on thick and fast now.
Biggg Pukke scrum, penalty…
5m Pukke penalty, collapsing.
Tuks 5m defensive penalty.. for relief.
TMO
Deliberate knock by Tuks?
Yellow Card for Reagan Oranje of Tuks
Tuks penalty on their own 22…
… and they escape trouble again, for now.
Tuks 5m penalty… Tuks playing well now with 14 players.
Hat trick try for Werner Fourie, Tuks hooker!
Tuks 36 / 26 Pukke
Strategy Break, 2nd Half.
Pink ball time in the 2nd half… with the Gilbert ball which is now used… same as with the Rugby World Cup, Super Rugby and the major competitions…
Ball standardization.
Tuks will still be 14 men for 3 and a half minutes…
Another Tuks ground-ball penalty… man over the ball again.
Pukke penalty, man over the ball… very good touchfinder!
Pukke knock, 5m from the Tuks line.
