The SSRFC Colts had their first hit out against a Korean high school squad in a 10s match as the curtainraiser for the England Counties vs. KRU President’s XV. The Colts fought bravely with many novices to rugby among their ranks. Backed by a good number of supporters including family, friends and Survivors, the Colts were excited to put their training into practice.

Disappointingly, the Colts weren’t able to gain a level playing field from the very beginning. Ranging in age from 14 to 17, the young Survivors faced off against players that were much older and more physically mature some who were already 20 years old. Despite going down 36-12, Captain Louis Galtié was satisfied with the inexperienced Colts’ performance stating, “We focused on our strong points and put up a good fight”. | | captain |
He noted that although the Koreans were larger they shied away from the physicality of the match.
The Colts’ two tries were scored by lofty Centre Florent Darrou. The first one coming off an Antoine Perennou chip kick and the second after a skilful draw-and-pass movement with Galtié that ran almost the length of the field. Coach Dan Grover also expressed satisfaction with the efforts of his young charges expecting this match to lead to more games and a better schedule for the Colts. |
