Bishops and Rondebosch combined to produce a beautiful entertaining game of expansive rugby on Saturday. Bishops last completed a double over Rondebosch in 2008 and since then the games have been a see-saw ride with the surprising feature being that neither team was able to win on their own home ground. That is off course until this game where Bishops had to come from as far back as 14-0 behind at one stage to eventually sneak home by a single point and thus claim another double.
