After a burger lunch we travelled to Bishops school in Cape Town. Bishops is a beautiful school with lovely grounds and the pitch that hosted the first ever game of rugby on South African soil, it was also the site of our last chance for victory.
The Bs opened the day by again playing some excellent rugby and going toe to toe with their opposition until late in the second half when the Bishops boys scored a couple of tries and stretched the lead. Again Matt Thomson played well but Finnian Young stole the show with 2 we'll taken scores.
The As were then presented with the opportunity to win our final game on tour, an opportunity they took with both hands. We started quickly with Max running for a long distance try that was soon added to by Luca Boyd. Bishops then picked up their game and combined with some interesting refereeing decisions we had a game on our hands. We led at the half and turned with the wind at our backs ready to finish the game off. Bishops decided to make that as hard as possible with some excellent rucking and tackling to keep themselves in the game but after some concerted pressure we scored our third try to stretch our lead. Immediately following the kick off we made a mistake and Bishops scored a reply making the score 19-10. That was how the game finished with our boys celebrating a hard earned win. Well done lads, we were all very proud to see the great performance from all of the boys and the win on South African soil was the perfect end to the rugby on tour!
