FFS. What a k@k kick by UJ 10.
Tuks hold UJ maul up.
Scrppy game now, UJ are the stronger side… but anything can happen.
No score yet in the 2nd half
Almost by Tuks… but a fortunate UJ knock stops play again
Tuks certainly absorbed a lot of pressure early in the 2nd half…
Come now Tuks, man!
9 Minutes to go in the match
UJ get the scrum penalty… Tuks advantage lost
Weet dit is eerste game, maar hantering van beide spanne is beroerd. Minder gym, meer touchies speel.
22 Drop in by Tuks
Less than 4 minutes to go
It will end in a draw… 1 minute to go
UJ Don’t deserve to win.
Sloppy.
Seconds left, UJ scrum on their 22
UJ penalty… and Tuks gets marched 10 more
UJ go for posts from 61.5m out…. phweew
Flipping frustrating.
Good night all, we all had little to say during the game. Nothing to add , cheers
Almost makes the kick… just under the cross-bar.
Final Score: Tuks 18 / 18 UJ
I reckon both UJ and Tuks will be disappointed. Well done to NMMU.
Cheers all.
Shimlas won 31 / 15 against Wits… 16 points difference.
Pukke beat UCT 47 / 24…. 23 points difference.
NMMU beat Maties by 45 / 29… 16 points difference.
… and of course this 18 / 18 draw
Daardie laaste skrum moes Tuks strafskop gewees het, UJ skrum heeltemal opgebreek, manne onkant gelê en nie weggerol nie. Sal nog 2 refs moet bykry om te help!
So, the 2 sides who played in the Final in 2013 (Maties & Tuks) both did not have good 1st-up games!
NMMU lyk die beste na eerste rondte, Maties die swakste.
