Grammar will need to start early to beat favourites RKS

RKS has only lost one match

The Suva Grammar School U18 rugby team will need to start early and not rely on their comeback ability, as shown last week against Lelean Memorial School, as they will meet a RKS side that has been winning since the U14 grade.

RKS come in as favourites in their Vodafone Super Deans semi-final clash, having lost only one match ever since their team assembled from when they were in the U14 grade.

Their loss came in the Eastern Zone finals 3 weeks ago, but the side have a very mobile forwards pack and an elusive backline.

RKS were fortunate not to be tested last week against Cuvu College, thrashing the Sigatoka side 34-7 in the quarter finals.

Suva Grammar School on the other hand came off a win that has been debated ever since it ended last week.

Grammar edged Lelean 27-24.

Some may say that they just pulled it out of the fire just before they get toasted, but for many who have been following this Grammar team, one thing is for sure, they will play until the referee says it's over.

Grammar has a lot of mental toughness, and to come from three converted tries down and win shows the resilience in this group of warriors.

However, they need to have an early start and not rely on their comeback ability because their opponent knows how to close off games and has been winning since U14.

RKS plays Grammar at 5pm tomorrow at the HFC Bank Stadium.

In the other semi final, Natabua High School will face Nasinu Secondary at 3.30pm tomorrow.
