STL Round 2 Recap



Pukeko Mens vs SixPack Men

The Pukekos took their first win of the summer league season against the hard running SixPack boys. Edging out a close 4-3 win the Pukekos played inspiring touch on attack, taking their opportunities as they came. SixPack lost their Captain, Leander early in the match and it proved to be the difference as they missed his organisation and decision making on the field.

The Pukekos fielded a full team with the return of the rubber man - Dan "rubber wheels" Gernez. Rookie Wei Qiang also debuted in this match with strong runs and solid defense. Young Dan collected two sweet tries supporting two dummy-half breaks and proving that being in the right place at the right time is a real talent!
Other tries were scored by Simon Gobbo on a quickie as he showed his sublime speed to outpace his marker to the line. Lixin scored his first try of the season on a slashing solo effort - showing a glimpse of his talent and pace.
Defense was tight on the line with sixpack making numerous line dives testing the agility of many Pukekos!




Pukekos move to 1 win and 1 loss as they look to climb their way up the table. The season is long and the benchmark has been set. See you in round 3! - Pukeko Out!




MVP- Simon Gobbo
