Shahaji Raje Bhosale Sports Complex: The Bengaluru Bravehearts registered their second win of the Rugby Premier League (RPL) Season 1, at the Shahaji Raje Bhosale Sports Complex (Andheri Sports Complex) here on Thursday. They saw off the Mumbai Dreamers in a low-scoring thriller, winning the match 12-7.
The Bengaluru Bravehearts, with India captain Mohit Khatri in their lineup, started brightly, Akuila Rokolisoa scoring a try and then converting his kick after that to give his side the lead. However, the Mumbai Dreamers, who were still looking for their first win, equalised when Waisea Nacuqu cancelled out Akuila Rokolisoa’s try and conversion.
The Dreamers, who lost their first two matches against Chennai Bulls, were doing their best to keep their opposition at bay, but just before half-time, the Bravehearts got their noses out in front again with Scott Curry’s important and decisive try. From then on, the Bravehearts managed the contest brilliantly against the spirited Dreamers, coming away with a crucial win. Dreamers thus remained without a win.
