Rugby was back at the Germiston Stadium after a three week break for Germiston Simmer Rugby Club.<\/p>\n

Simmer faced the Johannesburg Police Rugby Club during their Pirates Grand Challenge Bailey Cup held on Saturday.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Simmer\u2019s first team took an early lead with Sarel Ras going over five minutes into the game, but the lack of game time took its toll.<\/p>\n

Simmer just could not get the game going and a lot of handling errors kept Police in the game which saw an 18-5 score at half-time in favour of Police.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

During the break Simmer seemed to go back to the drawing board and make some changes to their game plan.<\/p>\n

This proved to be beneficial as Simmer\u2019s Morne van der Veyver, Anton Coetzee and Carl Wright scored in the second half to take the scoreboard to 26-18.<\/p>\n
