BrigandZe - BBRFC

2011 Sunday November the 20th 3 PM

This match had all the makings of fiendish trap; into which the baa-baas, on another occasion, could have fallen. All the ingredients were there: herded into a stamp-sized pitch (basically the smallest rugby pitch in Belgium) in the middle of nowhere, against a team just below them in the league. Despite a hair-raising journey, trying to keep up their coach who was trying to imitate Sebastien Loeb on the roads of Flanders, nearly all Barbarians arrived safely in Berlare ready to fight against BriganZe.

The first half started well for the Barbarians who, after a long kick off by Julien, obtained a good scrum 15 meters from BrigandZe's line. But that would not be as easy as it looked. The first scrum – as many of them during the game – was difficult for the baa-baas who took pressure from the opponents. The game was balanced, with a tough fight in the rucks, around the rucks and – indeed –in open play. After 5 minutes, BrigandZe won a first penalty, duly converted. Some minutes later, it was the turn of Julien to convert a penalty (3-3).

BBRFC – Arendonk

After a two-weeks break, the Baa-baas were hungry for rugby and hungry for victory. On a very foggy day, they emerged together from the changing rooms with the will the fight for one another and exhibiting nasty and aggressive faces. The atmosphere before the game was tense, the Baa-baas concentrated on listening to the war-like words of their coach, Arnaud.

Arendonk won the toss and elected to kick-off. The beginning of the game was not to the advantage of the Baa-baas who spent the first five minutes camped in their own 22. Arendonk's giants, led by Vercingetorix, came within centimeters of the try line, yet their assaults were stopped by an iron defense. However, Arendonk finally converted their chances through a penalty (3-0). The Baa-baas came back in the game and after the first difficult minutes they were starting to assert some domination on the game. A good lineout in the opposite twenty-two formed the basis for Patrick to take and beat two or three players to score the first try of the game, converted by Nick straight after. The Baa-baas were now unstoppable,

BBRFC - RC9

2011 Sunday October the 2nd - 3 PM

The previous Sunday saw the Baa-Baas winning their first game against Leuven 2 (36-20). A good game where the Baa-Baas dominated their opponents by scoring 6 tries (Charlie, Boule, Simone, Simon, Pieter and Charles).

This week brought another battle against RC9, a team from Flanders that nobody seems to be able to place on the map. As last week, the sun was beating down, and before kick-off a water break each 20 minutes was decided by the referee.

Unlike the two first games, where the Baa-baas scored in the first minute, the team was largely on the back foot during the first minutes.
