The game was played in 50 degree conditions on a thursday evening. The field was grass and lined for rugby in a nice stadium with some nice attendance. Unfortunately the field was lined slightly to wide for safety - on one side the touch lines were too close to a fence, making for a dangerous scenario. As such, the 5 meter line was treated as the touch line on the side of the field. It's great that St. Pius can fit a full size rugby pitch in their stadium - unfortunately, they need to do something about the lights and fence (line the field a few meters less wide). The St Pius back three struggled to organize themselves. Kingwood's flyhalf was quite a good kicker and quickly figured out how to punish the St. Pius unorganization...scoring many tries off a kick and chase tactic. Kingwood also stole many Pius lineouts. Other facets of the game were rather even - Pius managed to take a few scrums against the head.St Pius: 2 Tries, 1 Conversion (12)
Kingwood: 4 Tries, 1 Conversion, 1 Penalty (25)
Notes:
hard to predict st. pius / kingwood direction of play. found myself out of position.
pile ups were numerous, managed
too easy with penalties - assuming player innocence. Should have been harder to teach more. Game still went well - but the ball was slowed a little bit too much.
