Rage At Field as Putrajaya lost to Sabah in the Cup Semi-Final of the Agong's Cup...



Thursday, Politeknik Shah Alam - 2 semi final match have taken place in the Agong's Cup semi final. The first match is for the plate semi-final which sees Negeri Sembilan demolished Perlis to go through the final. The score? i dont really notice, but Negeri Sembilan won quite comfortable. The best story is about the cup semi final between Sabah and Putrajaya. The match started roughly around 5.00pm. Putrajaya is powered by most from ASAS RC and few from Bangi Hunterz. With 3 Fijians on their side, Atunaisa Toga, Apisai Nabo and the captain, Timoci Nacokula. Sabah on the other hand is powered by mostly Sandakan Eagles players. They are also using some foreign players from Samoa, Fiji and using the services of an U-21 Junior All Blacks players. The weather looks really windy and looks like it is about to rain. Whatever the weather condition is the match still started and then the kickoff whistle blowed. At the very first 5minutes of the first half, highly determined Putrajaya give a lot of pressure to Sabah and manage to score a try. Unfortunately the try is disallowed by the referee due to a forward pass by Atunaisa Toga to Timmy Nacokula. The unclear decision left the Putrajaya team frustrated. Right after the try was disallowed, heavy rain started to pour. The match had the be stopped as there are also lightning seen above the play ground. The team had to wait for the rain to stop and waited for the officials to decide on the match. After around 1/2 hour, the rain started to cool down and the referee decided to start the match. Due to the bad condition on the field, the referee direct for an uncontested scrum through out the game(stupid isnt it? never heard of it before, the whole game?) Putrajaya and Sabah continue to play their rugby and 10minutes after the match re-begin, Putrajaya manage to score a try from the forwards. Unfortunately, the conversion was unsuccessful and the score only 5 - 0. The match was at an even with both team having their own pattern play. Before the ned of half time, Sabah manage to narrow the gap with a successfully converted penalty by the Junior All Blacks flyhalf. End of first half, Putrajaya 5 - Sabah 3. The begin of 2nd half is quite the same with the first half, Putrajaya again get to widen the gap by a try at the corner by their winger. making it 10 -3. After the try, the referee than started to make a lot of bad calls in favor of the Sabah team. Both Putrajaya Fijians get sin binned on different occasion by the ref. Putrajaya are not happy with the call as it is inconsistent, and a lot of bad judgement from the touch judge. Almost at the end of time, Sabah give a penalty in front of their own 22 line and is taken by Putrajaya's scrum half. Things got worse for Putrajaya as the their scrum half, didnt converted the easy penalty. Sabah then begin to counter back but Putrajaya defending is supreb and they had to play back at their halves. The interesting incident happen after this...Sabah fly half kicked the ball to Putrajaya winger in the 22 line. Mark is call by the winger and 2 Sabah players go on tackle the winger after the mark was called. Sabah then pick up an easy try from the incident.

Mark was called and the touch judge heard it but didnt consult the referee. The referee should have heard it also as all the players inside the field and the substitute and spectators also heard it. Putrajaya pack leader and hooker then argue the clearly wrong decision with the ref and got carded. Putrajaya pack leader got sin binned and the hooker got red carded. The referee then said to a player that he didnt like the Putrajaya team captain as he is a Fijians and prefer a local to captained a team. That is so racism of the referee ayte? It is quite a scenery before the final whistle as the game stopped and all the players, spectators and managers are full of adrenalin rush and anger. Right after the referee blows the finals whistle, lot of people attack the referee. I dont have any right words to describe the incident, but just take a sneak preview of what happen on my posted youtube video. Maybe you'll get the idea of what happen, but just for a reminder on the video is when the incident is cooling off. Just imagine what happened before that?
