 Scrumtime - FOB vs Varsity Varsity playing out at the heavy track of Johnstone Park in Feilding lost 17 - 10 to FOB on Saturday.
Both teams were evenly matched, and the difference essentially came down to FOB's ability to concentrate their forward drives that led to the 2 tries by FOB Number 8 Feofa'aki Lea.Varsity took on the heavier FOB pack and had a number of good drives, but the ball security at times was found wanting, as veteren FOB Flanker Jamie Gutsell snaffled pill with ease. We missed the foraging skills of captain Josh Bradnock - away on rep duties in Whangarei. Big lock Alex Waite had a strong game, with the other 2 metre tall lock Leon Power, combining well at scrum time. In the backs Louis Maxwell had a strong game at 2nd five - with solid defence and a number of powerful breaks. The Varsity forwards closed the game out with a try to James Oakes from a forward drive after a lineout to secure the successful conversion and the vital bonus point.
