    SACS overwhelm Rondebosch

    Monday 20th August 2007

    Playing at home in the glorious midday sun, SACS produced a sparkling first-half performance to blow away a woeful Rondebosch Boys’ High School team. SACS led 36-0 at the interval before running out eventual 48-19 winners.

    The game started out slowly as the two teams felt each other out.

    After a quarter of an hour though SACS had secured a ten-point lead. They then proceeded to cut loose and play champagne rugby. The twenty-minute passage that followed must be some of the best rugby witnessed on the Memorial A field in quite a while. SACS spun the ball around beautifully and the support play was brilliant as they cut the hapless Rondebosch the shreds. Fullback Rodney Mthi was exceptional on the counter-attack and his skilful running helped SACS rack up five first-half tries.

    With the form they were in SACS should have gone on to win the game by seventy points but they let themselves and their supporters down by going to sleep for virtually the entire second half. SACS began doing things at half pace, appeared complacent and selfish as they allowed Rondebosch back into the game.

    A determined Rondebosch fed off SACS’s apathy and errors and ran in three unanswered tries to bring the score back to 36-19 before SACS had a late flourish to seal an impressive win. Left-wing Dean Holland securing his hat-trick with a well-worked try on the blindside and the ever-present Dugald Robertson deservedly finishing things off after a sustained period of phase play.
