’Field fail but coach happy with progress

Highfield 9 UCC 14

Having made a bit of a mess of the first half, Highfield found themselves 14-6 in arrears as they packed down for a five-metre scrum near UCC’s line 13 minutes from time.

Three gargantuan shoves had yielded three penalties, with referee Barrie O’Connell seemingly poised to give either a yellow card or a penalty try.
