The side from Somerset West performed confidently and showed that they were not scared to give the ball air, which was reflected in the hat-trick of tries scored by fullback <strong>Shudley Rhoda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>He benefitted from the acres of space afforded him because of the dominance of the Parel Vallei forwards, led by 8th-man <strong>Renato Tosi<\/strong>, whose physical presence, especially when in possession, kept his side on the front foot. That created opportunities for Rhoda and company to run rampant at the back.<\/p>\n<p>There were, however, some promising signs from the Mzwandile Mali XV. In the second half, they found some rhythm on attack, which caught out the Parel Vallei defenders on a couple of occasions and brought them reward for their willingness to play running rugby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SCORERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SACS 31 (21)<\/strong> &#8211; Tries: Qawe Sawuka (2), Daniel Grant, Quewinn Lackay.
