Day #4: 2011 World Rugby Classic Results
The fourth day of the 2011 Bermuda World Rugby Classic took place last night [Nov.11] with Australia defeating South Africa 26 – 21 in the opening match of the night.
In the nightcap, Argentina came from behind to record a remarkable win at the National Sports Center. Canada took the lead in the first half when John Graff scored a Try, however minutes before the half time whistle Bernardo Stortoni equalized for Argentina.
With 9:30 remaining in the second half Canada went back in front when Ryan Bank scored a Try, however with only four minutes remaining on the clock Argentina drew level again when Santiago van de Ghote went airborne and scored a Try.
Just when it looked as if the game would be decided in overtime, Argentina scored a Try with only ten seconds remaining on the clock. Lucio Lopez scored the Try and then kicked the Conversion, immediately after the referee blew the final whistle. Argentina’s 17 – 10 win means they advance to the 2011 World Rugby Classic Final.
The gates open at 4:00pm today [Nov.12], with the Bermudian Barbarians taking on White Plains RFC at 5pm, the World Rugby Classic Plate Final [Classic Eagles vs. Australia] at 6pm, and the World Rugby Classic Final [Classic Lions vs. Classic Pumas] at 8pm.
With regards to transport to & from the field, are taxi drivers bycotting/on strike tonight?
9:30P: Dropped off sombody at the field & noticed that there must be over 100 people at the gate, facing out, in line waiting for taxis.
What gives? Taxi drivers are constantly moaning about how bad business is & here is a windfall for them & they are nowhere to be seen.
Never mind another embarassing breakdown of public transport for people who spend much needed currency here.
Clearly the taxi drivers do not want our money – their actions by not being there to take money out of our hands speaks loud and clear: they don’t want our money! I simply will not be relying on taxis anymore. How’s that for speaking loudly and clearly right back to them?!
They can b*tch and moan all they want!
