Due to the lack of manpower to cover the match between BUCKS and SCC, e-rugby outsourced this match report to RONGFAQ.IAMSOGOOD.ORG
Here we go...
At 'hot as hell' Turf City,hardly any grass was seen on the pitch. It look more like a desert then a rugby field. From the warm up you can can see that SCC intend to hit it up with their forwards and create the space out wide for Superman Li RenCong to finish off the moves.
Sitting comfortably? In the tent and protected from the heat we waited for the much anticipated kick off. Finally the whistle was blown and the game was on its way. The early exchanges went the way of SCC and Superman was called to action much sooner than expected. From a cut pass by SCC incenter, Superman Li was able to stepped past his opposite marker and was flying down the touchline. But there is simply too many defenders for even the Superman to beat and eventually he was brought down by a certain ex-Super 12 player(duhh).
And in the tent we are also very fortunate to have with us Tong 'chest so big' Katek with us who provide us with much details on the strengths n weaknesses on both teams and on how their game plans should be played. Bryanboy Yik was also seen walking around shaking people hands as well.(who is he supporting anyway? heard that his best friend Leow was playing earlier on)
Eventually the heat took it toil on the SCC players and Bucks managed to put in 4 tries. Superman Li was seen trying to tackle everything that went his way but eventually he too was overcome by the immense task.The half ended 24-6 to bucks.
The second half started and now SCC decide to change their game plan as they r seen running the ball from their own try area. With help of former national player Hairul Naim , Li was sent flying thru the gaps on numerous occasions but the lack of support was to be their undoing. There was a moment when the ball was kick through and Li was seen closing down on the ball with the opposite full back out of position. It would seem to be the perfect opportunity for Li to score and turn the game around but as he picks up the ball but he failed to check his blind spot and was once again tackle by the ex-super 12 player. After another 2 tries which bring the score line to 36-6 to Bucks and the game ended.
The final score did not truly reflect how Superman Li played. With his performance, he will be giving the NTU selectors a headache in selection. Lionel Robinson still feels Bucks was lucky with their victory as he was drinking his 10th can of beer. He mentioned something about him not playing or else He will bring BUCKS to school. Beside Superman Li who played well, Daniel Marc Chow from rival SMU also have a storming game. Aaron Brown and Todd Feather both scored twice in the game and it seems that they are both gunning for a certain King Thiam and they are using the game as a warm up.
