The first 15 minutes of the game was an even contest. Pretoria Boys High converted a penalty to give them an early (3-0) lead. A try by Rustenburg gave them back the lead (3-5). With 8 minutes left, continued pressure by PBH allowed their fullback to go over in the corner (8-5). Rustenburg struck back immediately with two converted tries of their own to take back the lead (8-19).
Boys High did not take all the opportunities that came their way and will have to play against a strong wind in the second half.
Halftime Rustenburg 19-8 Pretoria Boys High
Pretoria Boys High scored an early try after the start of the second half. However, Rustenburg scored two of their own to lead 29-15 after 8 minutes of the second half.
As the half continued Pretoria Boys High started to make several mistakes on defence and with 10 minutes Rustenburg was 34-15 in the lead and threatening to run amok.
Rustenburg with a clinical and precise performance prove to be too much for a Pretoria Boys Hide side that has struggled to do the basics right.
