WP cruise past Griquas

WP cruise past Griquas

22 Sep 2012

GARETH DUNCAN watched WP deliver a commanding first-half performance as they thrashed Griquas 45-21 at Newlands.

It was a slick opening 40 from the hosts, who secured the four-try bonus point before the break and led 31-7 at half-time. They had the upper hand in the forwards battle and their backs impressed with a good running game, which was enough to end Griquas’ three-match winning streak.

The visitors’ errors and ill-discipline were also punished, especially during the first stanza.

Scrumhalf Louis Schreuder, who did very well in the No 9 jersey, created the opening score as his quick penalty tap and dart caught the opposition defence napping, and a well-timed pass put fullback Joe Pietersen through in the corner.

Inside centre Marcel Brache and wing Gerhard van den Heever exploited Griquas’ poor passing to grab intercept tries, while skipper Deon Fourie capitalised on a strong rolling maul.

Flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis added all five conversions, while Pietersen slotted a penalty.

Griquas scored their only points via a try by flank Marnus Schoeman.

In the second half, hooker Scarra Ntubeni and No 8 Jebb Sinclair crossed the chalk to seal the convincing win. Catrakilis finished with a flawless goal-kicking display by converting all the extras.

Griquas were awarded a penalty try from a 5m scrum, while wing Rocco Jansen cracked WP’s defence at the death with a fine finish. But this proved to consolation as Province eased to their fourth victory of the Currie Cup campaign.

    Come on Griquas. You can’t beat the Sharks and then lose to these mofflords. This should be a walk in the park.

    Deon Fourie at it again. Sharkies want Keegan in the Bok team yet Fourie pummels the opposition week after week!

    deon fourie may not be heinrich brussouw but hes certainly in the same mould!

    Come on WP…give Griquas a bonus point….and send the Bulls to the B section.

    @W.P-20: I will give you that Deon is a decent player, but then you give me that Deon Fourie has a way to go before he does for WP what Keegan has done for the Sharks. Also, just try not be a typical WP doos and admit Keegan has worked hard for his Springbok caps. Much harder than some other players that have worn green and gold.

    And I dont want any Sharks with the Boks at the moment. From the comments they are obviously no good, so send them back to the Sharks. The Boks will clearly be better off without them.

    Who did the game schedule for Keo ?

    Keo – I know you fond of the Capetonians but stay away from the tik addicts. You chops had the Griquas game wrong this week, and last week there was a mistake as well.

    Catch a wake up, and say no to drugs.

    @cane-35: That’s funny dude. Griquas are the altar boys of SA rugby. Everyone likes Griquas.

    I would love to see them win the Currie Cup this year for Oom Bushy. He isn’t going to live forever and I would love it for him to see Griquas win a Currie Cup again.

    Honestly if Griquas played the Sharks in the final. I would be cheering for Griquas.

    Unfortunately you can see from this game that they lack the killer instinct. They just cant get up enough to drive home their advantage.

    What a sad case WP rugby have turned into – Canadians who are bare knuckle fighters playing – no name brand Americans and a little Scarra running around – did the WP forward factory run out of material?

    @RL-36: Bakkies Botha is from Newcastle. He is actually a Shark.

    Johan Le Roux (the ear biter) was from Vereeniging (sp ?). He belongs to you lot.

    Henry Tromp and his brother from Namibia (or South West Africa as they called it then)

    Any others ? No boet – Pretoria doesn’t breed thugs. They might find a place to ply their trade at the Bulls but the breeding comes from the smaller ‘dorpies’. Newcastle is rough boet. You have to bliksem your way through school.
