The
Golden Lions and the Blue Bulls have been given the honour of playing in the
late game on day 2 of the Coca-Cola u-16 Grant Khomo Week in Vanderbijlpark on
Tuesday after both teams produced stirring late comebacks to win their opening
encounters.
The
Bulls were 11-10 down to Eastern Province at the break, and 26-17 down three
quarters of the way through the match before a flurry of late scoring saw them
triumph 30-26.
The
hosts, the Valke looked set for a major upset when they lead the Golden Lions
15-7 at the break, but the Lions turned it on in the second half to win 29-20.
Also
impressive on day one was Western Province, who smashed the Leopards 50-12, and
Border, who scored a rare win over Free State. Eastern Province are rewarded
for their good showing against the Blue Bulls with a game against Western
Province on Tuesday.
All
the sides are in action again on Tuesday. Wednesday is a rest day and the teams
play their third and last games on Thursday.
