Since the JIS game has been moved to today (plus in JIS grounds!), we have been anticipating. Some of us wondered "Are these guys really big?" "This game must be hard".
Some reassurance that this is a game we haven't tried. Never fear the enemy before the war.
The thought of our previous teammates are playing against us and the fact that they are from the U20 National Squad team fazed us only a fraction. So again, we have to believe that we will go through this game with high hopes.
The field is smaller than the Berakas Camp field we use. But when you consider the half-empty/half-full cup logic, smaller field means more contact. And yes, there were many tackles. I never had a game this intense before.
People push each other like crazy. The experienced players JIS kept crashing through our defenses but too much dependancy on the backs to score their tries. With Izzat on the JIS side, we knew that this game will be the most tiresome due to his ability to control game pressure. Aniq and Azizi however, despite their limited experience, rivalled Izzat's and Fifi's playing.
Losing did not get us down. Their 2 tries overpowered us but our single try came from Slim, who cracked some heads with his massive body weight.
It was Slim after all, who became the man of the match.
