Cobham started the 2nd half on the attack but an interception by by Chobham ended after a number of phases with them scoring. Chobham then also got the next score intercepting a pass as Cobham were on the attack. Score 21-10.

This gave Cobham a big wake up call and got themselves back into Chobhams half and stayed there for large chunks of the 2nd half coming away with 3 tries, two of them coming from push over tries from the scrum, Leon Van Niekerk scoring the 2 tries for the forwards.
Score 33-10.
