The Sharks and Free State showed serious intent on day two of the SA Rugby U16 Grant Khomo Week in Kimberley, scoring impressive wins over traditional power houses, DHL Western Province and Blue Bulls on Tuesday.
These wins secured their undefeated record so far, with the DHL Western Province XV the only other team not to have their flags lowered during the first two days of matches at the Northern Cape Griquas Stadium.
The Free State side had a stellar second half against the Pretoria side, ultimately scoring 10 tries in a 60-12 win, while the Sharks outplayed the Capetonians by 24-7. The Kimberley crowd had something to cheer about as Griquas beat SWD
23-12 and the Griquas XV outplayed Border Country Districts 26-0. The Leopards scored the biggest win of the day in a 47-0 romp over Zimbabwe, while Valke and Thepa Trading Motswako Griffons played to an exciting 23-all draw.
