The ‘Bosch boys made use of the full width of the field, with both wingers crossing for doubles as they upset the home team 49-27.
David Kadima scored his first within three minutes of the kick-off, then got the scoreboard moving again after the break.
Shakeel Abrahams scored their second and third to drive Rondebosch to a commanding 23-8 lead at half-time.
Wynberg, spurred on by their captain, Aden da Costa‘s sole try in the first half, fought hard to make the second stanza more of a battle, but ‘Bosch continued finding gaps and stacking up a substantial total.
The visitors’ backline ran like a well-oiled machine, with David Simon and Caleb Belelie steering the ship.
Simon added 14 points off the kicking tee, and Dylan Miller, Randall-John Davids and Matthew van der Merwe broke through the Wynberg defence to help bring Wynberg’s unbeaten streak to an end.
As they had done last weekend at Paarl Gimnasium, SACS stormed out of the blocks against Bishops Diocesan College on the Memorial Field. – link to the game
Two tries by the industrious flanker, Tashriq Bailey, and another by Endi Sidinile, on the wing, drove the hosts to a 22-0 lead by halftime.
The Bishops’ boys fought back hard after the break and, in a much tighter second half, both teams added only seven points each. But the damage had been done in the first half and the home crowd was able to enjoy an impressive win after seeing their team fall victim to Paarl Gim last week.
