Helllooooooooooo
Just in time for the rugby and the 1st game of the Currie Cup!
Lets see what Kolbe can do in his best position.
Go Province!!
Players out on the field!
Gooooooooo W…. well gooooooo rugby!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the EP Kings!
Weird to see Gary in an EP jersey.
1st Penalty to WP, Kings offside
Try Juan de Jong, WP… under the sticks!
Seems forward ?
TMO to check the last offload… look forward to me
No try, ball was passed forward
EP Kings defensive scrum on their own 22, middle of the field
Kings get a scrum penalty and takes a quick tap
Will watch with abated breath to see the plans Carlos made to beat the Provinces great defense.
Try Pat Howard, WP!
Pat Howard is one of the best backs in Cape Town and if it was not for injuries he would have been a regular starter for the Stormers long ago.
Great try.
WP 7 / 0 EP Kings
Nah, this EP Kings team’s not going to make it in the Currie Cup!
Caterikiellies is playing a very nice running game.
Kings penalty, WP culpably offside…. eaaaaasy shot at goal!

After Web Africa launched its free 50TB after-hours data promotion, the biggest downloaders showed just how much data they could burn through.
Another Kings penalty and they get back into the WP half with the kick to touch… and another penalty, quick tap by Luke Whats-a-flop!
Not back 10 and they get 10m closer…. they kick for touch and not for goal.
My word the WP are being penalized off the park.
Another penalty and a yellow . Carriza off.
Yellow Card for WP, Carizza… penalty inside the 22, right in front
The momentum of the game has suddenly swung.
WP 7 / 6 EP Kings
Now WP gets a penalty inside the EP Kings 22.. The Greek for goal it is!
