The Blue Bulls showed their strength and South Western Districts humbled Free State on day two of the 2022 Craven Week.
Despite the chilly weather in Rondebosch, Cape Town, day two of Craven Week was filled with exciting running rugby by all the under-18 sides gathered from around South Africa.
The possible upset of the week came in game three of the day when South Western Districts gave the highly rated Free State side a lesson in controlled aggression. Bulls hooker Hanro Venter scored a hattrick of tries, but he has the other seven members of his forward back to thank as they were all from the back of rolling mauls.
Tighthead prop Jayd Austin was the first to score for his side — paving the way for his scrumming partners — as he used his size and strength to his advantage to wave away Lions defenders and dot down at close quarters. “It was really fun, it’s just an amazing privilege to be here at the Craven Week. It was a very tough game, well done to the Lions,” said Heymans.
