We played a team called Russel MCV - Rams, and boy did they ram everything they had into our defensive six on the field. The opened by gassing D.Lau on the outside, which not just scored their try, but stretched David's hamstrings too far, too hard, and too fast so he pulled out for the game and sulked over his embarrassment for sleeping on his wing.
The ref was mostly fair, except for his leniency on their basketball dumps (think of a bounce pass, but between your legs), which gave them quick play of the ball.
It also took him a little while before he started penalizing them for running through our rucks after making the touches - this cardinal sin slows down our play of the ball, the equivalent of a rugby union player flopping all over the ruck.
Both teams took turn sharing the lead, but when we were leading 4-3, the game went our way when the ref finally penalised them for dancing over our rucks and Kerhan and Chris set Stuart up for a 56 cut, where he slimmed his way through the diving defenders for the try that sealed the game for us, and from there we got another to win 6-3.
