just so wonderful to see from many years back when i first arrived this was unheard of look at it there's a there's a huge stand you know with many many people feeling it so it's wonderful to see and belmont is go take the first kick looks like bravo's going to take the kick for bama and this should be a very intense very fun game of rugby looking forward to looking forward to some decent rugby great candidate by turning white b c high who counter kicks he's got to get his team on sides covered well by belmont  that's just great play great breaking the game line every single time so far well as on dummies takes it in hard out to michael rodriguez again making the game line setting up the ruck winning the ball and spinning it out to the backs good hands oh b c strong defense so can belmont find a gap max baskerville runs hard and gets hit hard ball pops out and b c high cleans it  every stopping play here i think trying to get a boys back tenth on the line out on the b c high side and make sure everybody's in the right positions here we can have high it's interesting b c opting to run from deep inside their territory  made some good ground so not releasing the book the tecla penalty to belmont looks like they're going to go for touch and safe and get a bit of territory for touch but safe kick them will be able to put the ball in and exert of in in their territory and looking to attack let's see let's see what they plan yeah probably a couple of phases unfortunately that's too bad so they get a choice of whether they want to scrum or in lineup and b c have opted to go for a scru technique and discipline they have patient and maybe a little anxiety here in the early going of this game wanting to jump the gun month back ten and b c high looks like they're going to kick for touch which they do making sure that touch you see high of the ball they will be put in and let's see what they do with  up he is playing another strong game yeah by the looks of us well done well as i know a conference all star in the boston globe all school lastic selection just a tremendous rugby player  great strength and speed and awareness always on the ball and he is a wonderful person to watch play the game of rugby he is been phenomenal in the last few games that i've been commentating as i've been the case throughout the whole season throughout the whole season and the leadership he provides as captain really quite incredible d c high winning loose ball right there for the tackle but r i'm not sure who made that hit might have been the wrong number nice tackle and belmont will get the line hats off to him will get his number in a second but he just had a cracker of a tackle try saving tackle well done not releasing the ball i didn't see who that was but brilliant play right there under pressure going over and stealing the ball well done obama going to kick for touch here with the high kick trying to get his team down there underneath it all but the b c high player sidesteps attack and then at about the thirteen yard line there c showing some great hands that was a nice run run up to that ball  always a nervous moment but that's a that's a well disciplined team don't panic pick your opportunity where you can steal a ball and and they've done that good line on my p c going down the line or a little of it's a high tech all the refs got his hand out for an advantage so they're going to continue playing unless the advantage is not gained i think he's going to bring it  back so you know he's going to be bringing a little further for not running away and they've gone to ground but the ball cleanly out and then seeing that opportunity outside and just the overlap was it was two people so yeah well then b c so seven nothing b c high and belmont going to look to kick this off and try to go down and contest for the ball see if we can get some momentum back our way so nathaniel tyler will be replacing lauren robber who appears to have taken a a knock in a taco driven forward by b c high who gets clean ball and again i spin it out to the outside very conservative kick by b c but they will have the b short short ball to the big number one jack cahill carrying it again for b c high and another penalty against them offside they really don't seem to go into this game just yet y you know you've got to want to build a confidence on the line you have to be able to play the same pieces you know do you know i'm not sure that that was the best option to take a scrum because they all clearly they're a big a pack and you know i've got nothing to twelve's around that belmont is controlled again much of the season so i met i have to see if i'm i can regroup and get back into this right so down to tries now fourteen there just that you just think that belmont at this moment has had a chance to play so i think it's i'm looking forward to them opening it up these boys have worked awfully hard to make this squad everybody on the team pushing each other for the last belmont setting up its defensive line while tackling there the game line you know notice they don't commit too many people to the ruck which is a great i would imagine the coaching is has been a big part of th just what we needed to change the momentum back we were just talking about that on the cake ross taylor with the beautiful moves but the but the whole behind moving the ball out quickly not letting it sit in anybody's head to too long and what a beautiful great patience by the team just assessing what's going to happen when to pause and they had another man on the overlap they had options so very well done by belmont the crowd really urging bomb on and on now seem to be a lot more about much fans in the stands today i have to say or at least they're louder when the fire has been let let's see how the thing you can handle this fairly fairly direct not not too much degree of difficulty oh he's pushed it let it come over and  so belmont looking to capitalize on the energy from that trying conversion and come back down to the side of the field again the seventy seven minutes about just just north of seven minutes left let's no thanking that earlier with how the boys have pushed each other over these this last month a playoff preparation and everybody vying for the spot makes everybody better absolutely i mean it's just it's incredible incredibly lots of depth in this team and the belmont technique and hold the ball here and it does we'll pick singo joe with a nice run looking to drive it over that's what you like about the game of rugby you don't you know a lot of speak to the realms of discipline is so important in this game part of the culture and yeah rugby absolutely your captain speaks to the ref so we'll have a three minutes left in the half score fourteen seven to b c high and belmont attacking the scrum on the head to head down around the six six not sure what's going on so craig and we have this break at this am i a finals are getting a ton of attention from all across the country massachusetts of course being the first state in the nation with that recognized  yeah it's really exciting to see the growth of the game and we understand that there will be even more boys teams in the in the lineup for next year so lots and lots of schools adding rugby and and it's just exciting as a  lovers we just love to see the growth of the game and the the level of play continue to improve yeah i also got some recognition from former eagles captain todd cleaver he's a just a phenomenal saw about a minute left here in the first half scrum to belmont on the twenty four i always want to say meter but i suppose if they are yards aren't they they are a metric levanon metric system too so the half is blown but in rugby it's the referee controls the time not the not the clock as i was letting him play through this penalty phase i'm a see see how much longer we have indeed so here we go for the second half thirty five minutes of rugby to play to determine the am i a boys rugby championship in division coach in there when the what words of wisdom have been spoken my guess is the coach bruce was reminding the boys that they've come from behind before and encouraging them to come up a little bit quicker and play a little more aggressively taken it to ground but beautiful beautiful run great passage of play yeah controlling some phases which is what we want to see looks like the number six ted curtis i hope he's alright you see willis on out there the number seven getting his team together getting his forwards together and he's such a great leaders provided so much leadership you know what is this team he is just not not only is he a great leader but he's a great player and he's by example so that's what since aspiring to be playing for him too i'm sure as a player scrum to b c high you see high winds the ball spins it out  mount rocks the ball well well again and out to the backs substitution is coming on was rough having a word with captain maisano and i don't know what they're discussing but it's animated it's probably telling them not to again might be a little bit too much chatter going on for the refs which is absolutely fine well telling his teammates but we keep it down guys of not holding is blind that's what the line stolen by b c high doc said well max meets the player referee definitely trying to keep the game going to hold the advantage for quite a while which is good to  sam harris player getting some attention down on the field it's like they are getting some cotton on the nose trying to stop a nosebleed there said some great runs through the line yeah beautiful unfortunate to see him leave good enough to get the crowd riled up crowd really urging the team on here some nice tap cleaned up by david well rocked by belmont belmont sensing an opportunity and going to go with a four man line again i think it's going to go to number three good rock well rocked by belmont it's really too bad every time you think we're going to get some momentum and get some phases going there's a stoppage of play really and you know the game really just hasn't kept going if you know what i mean  i'm out on the attack scrum to belmont on the forty you've got to clear him out kicked directly at the touch judge didn't have to move a step there so why not to b just outside of it twenty five hope for twenty two and ten year old line between the two not fifteen minutes left in the match scrum to belmont good clean the crowd really trying to get the boys into it now belmont looking to attack with the overload here fifteen players to fourteen it's just unfortunate belmont hasn't hasn't been able to to get these low monitors b c to be honest struggled been struggling with the line a struggle game now you know so that stops the position they're going to do this from again a lot of stop and go this half yes unfortunately i think for both teams they probably wanted this to be a lot more fluid it's being just can't really get out of the case right kind of rugby were taken into touch all that's not good so it's going to be a lie  but that could be a tip tackled by belmont so it may be reversed depending on what they say to b c which would be unfortunate if someone can string something together well cleaned up by belmont referees he's about to blow it well rocked by belmont well as on taking it up strong looking to get something going for his team here that's a big kick it is a big oh great great triumph straight ahead trying to give some space to get out of a twenty two that should have been a pause it is now more maintaining position really well right now getting some nice faces together here oh my goodness that's incredible they just all in the no one has a lot of real estate to cover but they're playing well right now was intentional knock on the right ca the boys fighting with everything they've got here as time is run most rugby games are allowed to end in a tie but i believe in a championship team you have to add some time is going to be overtime  you want to school under the posts close to that make it easier for you goes to ground i belmont are not giving up just short they can leave the field with their heads held high what a great passage of play at the end to just see that
