Superb Rugby Weekend for Zug Rugby!

The 1stXV won on Sunday 31:0 against Rugby Union Zürich. Solid effort with even more solid defense. Simon, Harry and Breon being the players of the day and Brandon having his great rugby sunday scoring 15 points (with 3 tries!) and also nominated for the rugby crime!

In their first match of the season the 2ndXV did beat Luzern II 8:20. Ian, David B. and Nici got the points for players of the day. David Fischer well deserved the rugby crime. Simon overcame his broken toe and scored 10 points with 1 try, 1 penalty and 1 conversion. And Sebastian Suter had his first game ever  - congratulations.

 

New Start for ZRC I & II

Dear Rugby friends

We had a great start into the NLC season with the 1st XV - 3 matches and 14 points, best defense and best offense of the NLC.

 

1stXV: Great performance against Ticino (54:8) with fast and strong support at breakdowns, real team effort and good communication. Forwards working hard with a stable scrum, excellent pick and go play at the breakdown as well with lots of yard winning rushes. Line-outs have to be worked on. Backs being lined up the better the longer the game was on have been using the gaps created by the forwards for 6 tries - they had also a very good positioning in defense and were faster then Ticino. 9 and 10 have been strong in interlinking forwards and backs and organized a simple but efficient game.

2ndXV: Unfortunately we had not enough players for the first match of the 2nd XV in the 1st League East - please make an effort to sign in also for the 2nds. It's fun and it's important to integrate our young players which are eager to play decent rugby!

Oval regards, Stefan
