TRI-NATIONS TOUR- I am playing as South Africa
It has been a decade or it feels like it, that I have posted in here at Planet, but now that?s all to change!
It?s the start of Tri-Nations campaign, and in here I want to share with you the glory and my sadness in a thrilling cover up in rugby this time and not cricket!
Stay tuned for fixtures, match results and match photos
The Boks went to Australia with a mission, to win the opening match against Australia in the first of a two leg match for the Mandela Cup, much like the real game turned to be, Australia Dominated every thing but here was the line-up for the Boks and the Wallabies:
1.Os Du Randt 1.Bill Young
2.Gary Botha 2.Jeremy Paul
3.Richard Bands 3.Al Baxter
4.AJ Venter 4.Justin Harrison
5.Victor Matfield 5.Nathan Sharpe
6.Schalk Burger 6.Rocky Elsom
7.Joe Van Niekerk 7.Goerge Smith
8.Anton Leonard ? 8.David Lyons
9.Fourie Du Preez 9.Goerge Gregan ?
10.Brent Russel 10.Stephen Larkham
11.Breyton Paulse 11.Lote Tuquiri
12.Jean De Villiers 12.Matt Giteau (K)
13.Bryan Habana 13.Stirling Mortlock
14.Akuna Undungane 14.Wendell Sailor
15.Percy Montgomery (K) 15.Matt Rogers
this was a classic in my Books, even though I lost it was really a game to remember, it was Matt Rogers scoring the first try after 15 min and it was unconverted by Giteau (5-0), 5 min later Australia collapsed a driving maul of South Africa and sat up a penalty which Monty landed through the sticks (5-3) with 35 min gone in the First half, suddenly Sailor found himself 5 meters short of the line, he saw Monty and had Larkham next to him , he drew Monty and popped it into Larkham?s hands and Larkham did the rest by scoring, the try was converted by Giteau, Halftime Score (12-3)
If South Africa had a chance to win they had to score first after half time, it was 8 min into the second half when Habana broke the Wallabies defense, Matt Rogers made a telling tackle on Habana but, it was picked up Gary Botha who drove himself over the line under the posts, Monty converts (12-10), 26 min into the game and still the score remains the same, Gregan picks and drive, but the Boks are offside setting a kick for Giteau (15-10), just two minutes later the same thing happened and Leonard opted that Monty went for posts rather kicking for touch (15-13) a good day for Monty so far , 34 minutes gone and the Wallabies has possession, Mortlock through the middle of the gap, he is tackled near the 22, Gregan is there, he passes to Larkham, Larkham has a look he kicks and its over three points (18-13), 1 minute to go, Russel restarts its dropped by Elsom, Van Niekerk bombards himself thru the Wallabies Defense still advantage, he passes but its dropped by Matfield, the scrum is won by the wallabies, Gregan passes to Larkham and he boots it out the Wallabies win at home (18-13)
