NewsGByronMareeWestern Province flexed their muscles during the opening day of the annual Academy Week at Grey College in Bloemfontein. They humiliated the Blue Bulls by 73-10 in a match that was stopped with five minutes still to play.  

The biggest thorn in the Blue Bulls’ flesh was the winger, Dalvon Blood, who managed to cross the white-wash four times. Blood could have boasted five tries, but gave a try away to flyhalf, Jandré Burger

Burger’s personal tally for the game was an impressive 23 points as he converted nine of his side’s 11 tries.  

Not even five tries by inside centre, Franco Knoetze, could help the Free State to open their account with a victory over the Sharks. Knoetze scored a record of five tries in the match of which more than a couple will make the highlights reel of the week.  

The Sharks won the match by 41-38 in the end after leading the Free Staters by 17-12 at the break. 

Limpopo Blue Bulls’ inside centre, Zander de Ridder, was on song as his side put Eastern Province to the sword by 47-24. De Ridder scored 29 of his side’s points as he crossed the tryline twice, converted four of his team’s tries and also slotted three penalties. 

The Limpopo Blue Bulls were rewarded for this excellent performance by getting one of the two fixtures on the A-field on Wednesday where they will face the Western Province XV. 

Boland’s flyhalf, Carlton Pieterse, also enjoyed a good day at the office as he scored 20 of his side’s points in their 45-29 victory over Zimbabwe. Pieterse scored a try with one of his sharp breaks, converted three tries and also slotted three penalties.
