SACS travelled to Stellenbosch for their highly-anticipated encounter against Paul Roos on Saturday, but it game was played in unusual conditions.

After a few days of torrential rain in the area, the playing surface at the Markötter Stadium was nothing more than a giant patch of mud.

Despite that obstacle, the game went ahead as planned and the boys admirably soldiered on. Paul Roos play in maroon, while SACS normally play in white.

On this day though, there was nothing to differentiate between the two rugby sides as both set of players were soaked in mud from head to toe.
