Final
Score: RC Zug 62 – ARYA 10
We lost our last encounter with Arya 19-8 and we were determined not to let this happen again. Even though we lost a few people to injuries in training we still managed to produce a full 22 man squad.
The pre-game warm-up and team talk was
exactly what we needed. We all know how brutal and physical the sport of rugby
is, but majority of matches can be won or lost purely down to the mentality of
the team.
Once the game started it was clear the way
the match was heading. It was not long till Zug started laying down the trys
and with the help of Nico and Tim we racked up the conversion points. There was
a slight dip in our performance in the second half (understandably as we were
very far ahead), but this gave Arya a chance to score a try. Again we had a
positive team talk and within seconds it was back to business like the first
half.
Normally we would list all the try scorers in this report, but once we passed 40 points everyone lost track of who scored what. With the full 5 points for the league awarded today and only 3 matches left of the season, we are in a very interesting position.
Man of the match: Raphael (Meier)
Afterwards Arya joined us in our club pub for the usual BBQ and beers. Arya left with their heads held high (deservedly so) and also safe in the knowledge that they have made friends with RC Zug.
A special thank-you to the referee who
received praise from both teams for his fluid style and fair decisions
throughout the match.
We would also like to thank Arya for making the long journey to our pitch. We look forward to seeing them again at the summer tournaments and wish them the best of luck for the rest of their season.

Man of the match: Raphael (Meier)
A lot has to be said about Arya’s conduct
after the match. One would think that after such a big loss that there might me
some anger or harsh words exchanged……but this is rugby and not football! A very
heartfelt and genuine round of applause from Arya showed that they embrace the
true gentleman’s spirit of rugby, which is something we pride ourselves on here
in Zug.
