Game 2 was a tough one, we knew it. Sweden is a top seeded team, they had impressed us in Nancy a few weeks’ back, where they made it to the final. Their first game against Israel was quite impressive as well – they had won 50-0, had played good rugby, with some nice switches, something difficult to defend against when done well.

We held quite well in the first half, the score at the break was 10-0. The second half was more of a challenge, final score was 29-0.

Well, we quickly shift the focus to our next game. The first day of these tournaments is the most important for teams like us which are not among the top teams, we want to reach the top 8, and need to win two games to secure it. That last game against Israel will be important.

Starting team: Tonje, Ingrid R, Karoline, Karin, Ingrid SH, Kathrine, Gina.

All subs came in.

No tries for Norway.
