South African Rugby League Rhino’s vs British Community Lions - 1st Test

12/10/2014

 
Tuks Rugby League played hosts at Groenkloof Stadium on the 3rd of December 2014 to the first match between the Rhino’s and the Lions and it promised to be a tough one. The Lions had a warm up game against the Western Cape Combined Clubs, but they knew the Rhino’s is a totally different prospect. 

The game was tough, with the Lions getting an early lead with tries from Karl Dixon, Fran King, Chris Stephenson and Peter Caddy  (one converted by Fran King). The Rhino’s were resolute in defence and their new structures started to pay off as they held the English at bay. The second half ended with the Lions leading 18 to fill against a resurgent Rhino Squad.

The Lions once again scored early in the second half, quickly taking their score to 30 against nil with tries by Iain Davies and Fran King (who converted both tries), when the Rhino’s managed to put Rudolf Prinsloo over for a converted try (Jean Coetzer). This was quickly followed up by another try from Jean-di Oosthuizen, to bring the score to 30 to 10 for the Lions.

The match was a hard-fought victory for the Lions, and you can see the difference in the Rhino Squad as they are benefitting from a continued program to develop and promote the coaching staff to international league levels.
