\u201cBoksburg ran in three easy tries in first 10 minutes of play, which really put us on the back foot,\u201d Audier explained.<\/p>\n
Despite this the club continued to fight throughout the first half.<\/p>\n
In the second half, coach Jean Diemieniet made some changes to the line-up and Simmer were able to score a number of good tries to bring the score within 14 points.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was still a chance the team could win,\u201d said Audier.<\/p>\n
However, Boksburg were able to run in two more tries before the final whistle, winning the match 57-26.<\/p>\n
