Two of the fiercest competitors met today for what was being hailed as the REAL RWC competition. A long standing history between two teams was going to ensure that this was truly a game to be remembered.

From there both teams fought gallantly to hold field position. Scores remained unchanged coming into the second half when it looked like the All Blacks had a free run at the line when out of nowhere Clancy Cvetko, captain of the Wallabies Under 8’s pulling of a spectacular tackle, stealing the ball and running the length of the field for their second try.
With a converted try, the game finished 12-0 in favor of the Wallaby Under 8’s.
