The Rhinos started with a bang by scoring the first three tries of the game before the Tamaraws could stop the flow of tries.  The Philippines with their superior knowledge of the game had to claw back with similar attacks to ensure that the Rhinos were not going to overpower them already in the first half.

Both teams produced nice runs and the scoreboard was kept busy with the scoring taking place on both sides.  The tempo of the game was fast with quality group-tackles on both sides.

At the end it was the superior conversions of the Rhinos that kept them on the score board as the leaders.

For the first time Australian-based players with heritage-association with South Africa, were invited to join the Rhinos on the development tour to Australia.  Their experience in the code was of great advance to the SA-players of whom but only started to play the game about a year ago.

Most of the Philippine players are also based in Australia and plays Rugby League atAustralian Rugby Clubs.

Having only 6 penalties allocated during the game to each team- both sides each indicated how well controlled and disciplined the game was played.

Score: Rhinos 6 – 0 Tamaraws

Allowing a lot of errors to stem their tide of attacks the Rhinos slipped on quality defence and the Tamaraws scored on the 40thmin of the game.

Well done. Thanks to everyone! You have rewritten the scoreboard of 1962/3. This is the beginning of great things. May this be an inspiration for bigger things to happen. Dankie manne, ek is geweldig trots op julle.
Aan die President - Dankie Kobus en aan almal wie die toer meemaak om te sorg dat ons seuns vastrapplek kry - dankie!
