It was the top team in our pool, seeded number #1 in this tournament after their victory in Dnipro two weeks ago. We can’t say we played very badly, but they were faster, stronger, quick in rucks. Final score 0-46.

We had anticipated a difficult game, and started sub’ing players early in the game. We need to manage our group, give rest to experienced players, and give playing time to new players.

We have a long break now. Weather has been quite stable after the showers this morning.

Next game is against Latvia, at 16:27.
