Pukke deny Maties
11 Sep 2008
Pukke will meet College Rovers in the final of the SAA National Clubs Champs on Saturday after they upset the favourites Maties 23-20.
Pukke reached the final with a nail biting 23-20 victory over hosts and defending champions Maties, while Rovers beat Brakpan 23-15 in a tense first semifinal. Rovers will now look to become the first team from KZN to win the national title since fellow Durban side Crusaders in 1994.
In the Plate semifinals played earlier, SK Walmers reached Saturday’s final with an outstanding 80-0 win over Despatch, while SWD champions Bridgton beat Mpumalanga’s Nelspruit 27-21.
Boland’s Nova Wesbank club won the Bowl after a 34-22 victory over Barbarians.

As a huge maties supporter. I think the colourd poeple at the game tonight are racist. They go to the white supporters after the game and insult them. I don’t know if they are jelous of the maties because their teams lost badly. Or if they just cant take the loss.
The best of all is they think it is a insult to loose to a very good PUKKE team. The PUK deserved the win and i hope they win the cup.
MATIES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

#3 Cheetahboytjie: Het daai selfde k@k al oor en oor en oor ervaar. Ergste was op Nuweland toe die Bokke teen die AllBlacks verloor het, maar was al by baie Matie club games waar jy later bang raak dat jy nie lewendig daar gaan uitkom nie. Maar **** jy ooit SARU iets daaroor se? Nee, volgens hulle en die goverment kan slegs een ras mos rasiste wees.
GO MATIES!!!

#4 KingPaul: Ek het al in sulke games gespeel. Ek dink dit is hoekom boland rugby nie ‘n borg het nie, want niemand wil hulle met sulke klubs verbind nie. SARU mag nie iets daaroor sê nie want dan breek hulle hulle eie kode dat hulle glo net een ras kan rasisties wees.
Ek moet ook sê dat ek al byna aleen op SK Walmers se paviljoen gesit en daar is nie sulke probleme nie. Well done SK! Julle is ‘n goeie voorbeeld.

Maties were only pretenders anyway. Everyone knows the Ikeys were the real champions.
Have your say
