Toti RC proud despite 2nds 60-5 loss

TOTI Rugby Club’s seconds ran out on Friday night on home soil against a star-studded Durban Collegians side.

Durban Collegians, which is steeped in history and pride that runs deep, flooded Toti’s home turf kitted out in collar and tie.

Although Toti held their heads high in front on another record-breaking crowd at Hutchison Park, they were not able to match their much stronger opposition, who undoubtedly deserved the win, beating Toti second’s 60 points to 5.

It was a disappointing result but nothing the team can’t build on moving forward. This tournament was never going to be easy.

Man of the matches went to Armand van der Walt for the backline, who scored the only try. The forwards man of the match went to Wayde Shore. Special thanks must go to Neil Geustyn, Steve Green and Armand van der Walt who came up from the third team to offer their expertise.
