UGA 24 Auburn 12

Auburn, Alabama
Saturday April 16, 2005, 2:00 pm
Referee: Sheehan

The game started late as, well, we were late getting there. Auburn came out running hard and putting in some big hits. We came out sloppy. Ran high, tackled high, didn't ruck, threw panic passes out of contact. We were very fortunate to be down only 5-0 after 20 minutes, thanks in part to Auburn committing an awful lot of penalties. Gradually Aussie and Andre got the guys settled down and playing solid rugby. We spent most of the last 20 minutes of the first half inside auburn's 22 but couldn't score, missing 2 penalties and 1 drop goal.

In the second half Auburn subbed some guys and we played much smarter, cleaner rugby. We scored 24 straight points on 3 tries (Kevin Wilson and 2 by Andre Bobic) and 1 penalty goal by Andre. Auburn came back with a well earned try with 5 minutes to play to make the final score 24-12.
