Does anyone else think mudguts would have been punched a lot at school???

Their ball boys devoted labors should be recognised by the reds… they show up more than the supporters… & carry the ball up and down the field and when the Reds finally get the ball they kick it into the stand…

It’s Tough job being a ball boy in Brissie…. they'd jump at the chance to sign with the Force where they like'm young...

nice to know you haven't forgotten... just remember Mitch isn't a god... he's a related to a dark lord ... he is a New Zealander All Blacks coach whose blood line is closer to that of Darth Vader....

Western Province vs. Boland

---------- Post added at 08:53 ---------- Previous post was Yesterday at 20:27 ----------

Province do the business


Western Province made light work of running in the requisite four-try victory over Boland in the Currie Cup at Newlands on Saturday, winning 50-7.

There's not much you can constructively say about a game this one-sided, except to point out once again that the imbalance in powers in South Africa's top domestic cmpetition is not healthy at all in the long run and must be addressed soon.

Luke Watson got the ball rolling after seven minutes at the bottom of a maul driven over the Boland line as Boland spent much of the first quarter giving away penalties by rushing up in defence and WP spent their time kicking to the corners.

Tiaan Liebenberg's try was a little more exciting, featuring some fine handling between he and Joe Pietersen, while Andries Bekker's effort on the half-hour was a more direct and bruising sort of effort.

Pietersen had also added a penalty as Boland's defence tightened up its act and prevented WP getting too much forward ball, just to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

It took the home side until the 53rd minute to notch the bonus point try, with Ricky Januarie burrowing over round the blind side, but then the game opened up a bit more.

Tonderai Chavhanga showed the side the pace they will be missing next year with a scorcher, before Boland grabbed a solitary crumb of consolation wth a Deon Scholtz intercept.

Watson scored two more near the end, celebrating as though he had won the tournament. Big deal. It's not Boland's fault they offered little beyond lots of tackling, it's the fault of the self-serving unions who continue to ring-fence themselves from any form of salary cap or regulation. It has to change - this was too dull for a top-level game.
