DHL Western Province U16 girls are one of four unbeaten team left after Day Two of the SA Rugby Under-16 Girls Week at Jeppe High School in Johannesburg
Bidvest Waltons Golden Lions, Blue Bulls, DHL Western Province and Border kept their winning streaks intact and while Day Two did not deliver any blow-out results, with 611 points and 104 tries being scored, the crowd were treated to a number of very competitive matches.
The DHL Western Province side is an entertaining one, but also not scared to do some defending. They did that pretty well against EP Elephants in their 22-6 win, restricting their Eastern Cape opponents to only two first half penalties.
Once DHL WP, who were up 12-6 at the break found their stride, they scored two unanswered tries in the second half to keep their unbeaten record at the tournament.
