Germiston Simmer Rugby Club took on the Soweto-based Jabulani Rugby Club in the Pirates Grand Challenge, last Friday.<\/p>\n
The match held at the Germiston Stadium was a must-win for the Germiston-based club and the nerves were clearly visible.<\/p>
\u201cDespite the nerves, captain Charl Wright calmed his troops down and they were ready to take on the visiting team,\u201d said club chairperson Rene Audier.<\/p>\n
Jabulani began the match, sticking to their tried and tested game plan, where they attempt to get under their opponent\u2019s skin.<\/p>
This, however, did not work and the Simmer boys held their cool and soon Wright had a hand in Juan Westenberg\u2019s try.<\/p>\n
Simmer continued to dominate the match in the scrums.<\/p>\n
\u201cA tight five, working hard together, and giving the backline good ball to play was instrumental in the success of the match,\u201d said Audier.<\/p>\n
Westenberg added another try to his tally and Eben Barnard also added his name to the score sheet.<\/p>\n
Jason Harrison closed the game off with a try of his own.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis meant the team celebrated a nice 29-7 bonus point win for the club,\u201d said Audier.<\/p>\n
Simmer\u2019s u-21 team celebrated a win against their Jabulani counterparts, helping to keep their semi-final hopes alive.<\/p>\n
