Time is up on the clock…
Maties have subbed a prop… this might be vital!
Pukke scrum penalty again…. phweeew.
We could be close to a Penalty Try here…
More than 2 minutes after full time already
Pukke penalty, in front of the posts… and a Yellow Card to Maties No 12 it seems…
Tense stuff!
Pukke penalty again… 5m out
Tired bodies lying all over the place.
This has been a massive, monsterous Final!
Whatever loser will be very unlucky!
It’s all guts and glory here!
Reset scrum again, ref warns them to stay square….
If am counting correctly that was 4 penalties in a row no penalty try just eventually the card
Pukke 5m penalty again… offside
87th minute…
Pukke prop stretchered off…

What another one and then you comment that after that they are warned to scrum straight. There is something seriously wrong if a team can keep infringing like that and get away with it
Yet another Pukke penalty…
Card???
Maties scrummie cops the inevitable Yellow!
88 min

Conversion over!!
Pukke win by 1

That must be about the 7th then. Maties are reading the ref well just keep giving away penalties as he does not seem interested in giving away penalty try who knows it may eventually also go to uncontested scrums
Final Score: FNB Maties (0) 6 / 7 (0) NWU-Pukke

Fantastic am a bit behind here. Some justice in the end well done Pukke
So, Pukke are the 2016 Varsity Cup champions!!
112 @ Bullscot:
Although there was a plethera of penalties on the Maties 5m line, never did it warrant a Penalty Try, I think… the scrum never threatened to go right over the try line…
I think the 2 Yellow Cards was absolutely correct!
The winning score must have been in the 90th minute…
This was one of the most epic Finals I’ve ever witnessed!
Well done to both teams!!
@ grootblousmile:
@116 ja it is hard when not watching to know the context of the penalties were but for Maties to give away about 7 penalties in a row and earn 2 yellow cards in the process with Pukke deep on the attack seems lucky to me, have seen penalty tries given far quicker before. But hey at least they scored in the end
