U18's Craighouse 52 v 21 MTS

Another very tough game for the lads but full credit must go to our hosts. They are a very big and physical but play an expansive game with some tremendous back play. On our return home, I doubt we will play a team of this quality in our regular fixtures.

The backline we faced was superb with big quick boys who handled with precision. The star of the show for Craighouse was there 16 year old (90kg) winger who has recently been signed by the Canterbury Crusaders in New Zealand following a five week trial. He scored four tries and I am sure that Oakesy and Graham C will not forget the day they played against him in a hurry. However, Craighouse were more than just a one man team and played very well from one to fifteen.

Despite long periods without the ball, it was MTS that opened the score with an excellent solo try from Matt VS. We also scored tried through DEvans and Max W. A tough lesson but one we will learn from.
