yes st john is knocked belmont out of the dark belmont out of the playoffs two seasons running and i'll say that the boys have been pretty motivated in practice this week it's all leading up to a very exciting semi final here in belmont st john's to to kick off well picked up number five  support by the belmont forwards who are really getting clean ball belmont controlling the phases here in the early minutes of this game it's really nice to see good control of the ball protection of the ball and been recycled for the third or fourth phase now belmont keep on putting it down the line ref cycling at that went backward so they carries on going over the top i think yeah yeah unfortunate good passage a play by belmont see how belmont scrums in the post games have been screaming really well so if you they take it into this game and the trick here is that technique has i think that they're out wait a little bit  good support again good protection of the bowl coming back slowly but back out the near side here down the line with sam taking a strong run going again the ball was recycled jake right there for the for the rock she takes the ball handles it cleanly making it's going to play a told if they continue to have to tackle we'll see something we'll see something change in the second half that's tiring w seen all season that that field position was set up by that beautiful little chip chip kick over the over the top absolutely david unintelligent rugby at some point no one knows line outs to to retain position especially when you're under pressure right so well done for belmont for exploiting that opportunity absolutely so for you randy novices out there a try is good for five and so interesting they don't have anybody on the on the blind side on the right hand side just so i'm expecting that either number fourteen or number twelve is going to run across but potentially and klein breached the defense on the left yesterday absolutely well three we are in for an exciting game guys line here we go and we're getting some great service here by belmont and they keeping on the pressure making again line oh unfortunate just took his eyes off the pull back yeah i think he was ready to to have an inside false yeah what's that catch the does be an indication of what they want to be doing in the next parts of the game are they going to be aggressive and and try and run it  seven he's not a very big guy but boy he plays like a lion and he gives incredible service so you don't have to be you don't have to be huge to play rugby right so right absolutely and it's just great to see him adding right at the twenty two ye so far it's been a very tight game with both sides to see each other out and both sides are defending well and attacking well very good that's the important shows the importance of taking the ball and playing so you know you have to catch the ball when you're moving and that and then people are going to stop you with that one distance making the ball do the work moving it down the line there's a good creating that extra man and then pushing it out of the short side with will take heed of a strong run and great team try their beautiful the world is on a again having a wonderful game so far and you mention that wells playing sort of inspired rugby and i think that's true and this game is so much to all the seniors who played for so many years together and have such chemistry really prep have the boy in the middle of the field at the moment with good defensive line speed here closing the gap quickly so important to maintain awareness of that touchline because you just turn the ball over if you take it out yeah absolutely that was good defense but belmont pushing him out there good  i want to be in giving them i'm really managing to keep a play in the other half though and that's that's encouraging putting a lot of pressure on be surprised to see that's too bad that was a great opportunity there fortunately corner knocked it on i'm on line speed is really impressive and has been all season long yeah i with you peter it's actually a pleasure to watch the way they move that bo look back a try i was going to check in with the ref old the ref is going upstairs to the t v jeremy and everyone else involved i haven't mentioned there but you know it's it's just been a pleasure to watch of the years of what they've created here in belmont and evidence of tonight's of the way the boys are playing the skill a good decision to go the other way there's an overl i think they've got they've got the players to do it see we had a line up here but i wouldn't be surprised at all it's always the danger in the malls that the ball gets trapped in there but here comes like the run has a relatively that brings the score up to twenty one three prep and putting pressure on them to belmont starting to take control of this g can get this ball back held up as an indication said to be a five year old scrum and someone will be able to put the ball in so great attacking position played by belmont we're talking a little bit at the half about it situational awareness which is so important to me it's such a fluid game and being aware of what's happening at all times really critical belmont doing a nice job where they have the a rainy night where the game was really uncertain for rockfish i remember that that's their the reigning champs and if we get if we get there we get there yep but i don't want to another kick in front of the polls and taking his time sizing up the kick same distance he does the same amount of time i think it doesn't matter really what goal what you do it's it's how it's that you keep consistent so yeah i used to take three steps back and two and a half steps to the left it was my routine and i would have the same a lot of timers all for me here so strong to hold on to but it's one thing they really do well with st john well rocked they have secured it does well again will lead to handing off three or four players secured the b about the skill levels of the film one team you know they play a lot of break be in the off season and you know during the summer and they've got different programs anatomies you can just see it yeah you know the disco level it's just it's unbelievable and it's really nice to see the other thing i think we're seeing is the fitness level many of these boys started their fitness training in january six am trainings on friday mornings really committed to being able to but this is the first kick that laurent has missed tonight and it was a tough one right from the touchline and he pushed it just to the left of the ball that brings the score to thirty three three that correct craig would you like to co around the depth this belmont team is really quite incredible and especially on showcase these players have tried to make this twenty three man panel it's been incredibly  and great kick butt and yeah you've got to release the b prep he's been all over the place a strong run i've been impressed with the sidestep i don't know if you noticed that he has a run through a number of belmont defend as  horsing through their hands very nicely and quick and still trying to get through that been under maybe not the distance that he wanted by joe offside so those players that were running up were all sides because they were ahead of the kicker so therefore it's a penalty quick take by s close just a great story on this team he's such a hard worker such a smart rugby player and he's he's worked his way all the way up from the from the c squad over the plane and coaching him the last couple years  boys carry this it will be the same date same venue so you'll be able to see two belmont teams play in state finals if this holds up it sounds intriguing movement down the line you know i think st john's prepare is just trying to what's nice about this right what rugby they they they're not they obviously have a very slim chance of winning but look at them they're not giving up and they want to score that that one try right so one hundred percent craig i said yes wonderful to see happy coaching stoff on the sideline down there some big smiles yeah they got a lot to smile about and showed me  three men line again yeah they've used that effectively several times moment secured the boy at the rock will doing is driving runs again all comes back through because he was way ahead of any of his support from this very intelligent play good play he seems to have settled into the fly off position from the scrum of position quite well yeah a lot of versatility a lot of practicing in different positions gives the guys a chance to move around easily yeah and full time is gone here are they going to do it again swing it while and fortun
