Bishops 80 - 5 Boland Landbou

There was a lot of talk around many different social circles yesterday afternoon at the one and only Forresters Arms, over a rumoured thrashing by Bishops of one of South Africa's more recognized rugby schools, no i'm not talking about Rondebosch, in fact im talking about Boland Agriculture. These guys have always been a huge fixture on the Bishops calendar, but yesterday was an absolute joke. Before I go on, I would just like to tell you the score...80-5....yes Bishops fucked Boland Landbou up 80-5, have you ever...

The question on everyones mind was, "Wasn't it wet and muddy?" Firstly, it didn't matter under what conditions the game was played yesterday, because it is hard to find running rugby like the calabre of Bishops anywhere else in the country. Every year we hear rumours about the Bishops team not being too strong this year, or that they going to struggle, but it seems as if every year we keep producing some fuckin awesome Rugby. These bunch of youngsters don't have any big names to speak of, but they play one helluva vibe out there, it will be hard to match the skills and pace of Bishops this year if they continue to play rugby that saw them put 60 points on St.Andrews and 80 points onto Boland, I would love to know when last or if ever Boland recieved a hiding like that. Keep your eyes on the Bishops flyhalf, son of Tim Laine, this boy looks set to go places and he is still in Grade 11...


Next fixture vs. SACS away (Sat 17 May)...get down, wear that OD tie, bring a couple of beers and watch running rugby at its best.
