16 determined
BRK players made the trip to Trondheim. Ole, a former junior from Bergen
and now student in Trondheim, completed our squad.
BRK began
the games with three virgins (Ole, Timothy and Joe) on its side and
a couple of players started in some unusual positions for them. Back
Row and captain of the day, William Willie Wilson, played prop and the
fastest winger of the west, Even, started as outside center.
BRK
rapidly occupied the TRK's half and scored quickly a try by its veteran,
Ian Irving. Regularly, BRK scored tries rewarding some good efforts
by both the forwards and the backs.
The support
was great from the forwards though the line-outs were almost a total
disaster. A good summary could be : The jumpers refused to jump and
the lifters refused to lift. Luckily, the hooker, Karl, didn't refuse
to throw the ball and poor line-outs from the opposite side allowed
BRK to grab some balls.
That was
definitely the dark point of the day for us, something we need to really
improve before our next game against Stavanger.
The backs
played their best game of the year. The backbiters could say that it
was not very difficult to play better than the previous games. Outside
center Even
and winger Markus had some great runs.
Right after
the end of the game, Ian, Hanro, Stefan and Tim drove back to Bergen.
A long drive for these boys to catch the 08.00 plane to Paris the next
morning. Hanro and Ian were in Paris in the afternoon to support Samoa
against South Africa ;-).
The end
of the day was spent at the Kings Cross, a pub from Trondheim totally
dedicated to rugby. We watched a couple of games, Australia-Japan and
England-USA, enjoyed the food served by the pub and the local beers.
Tim was
elected best Bergen's players from Trondheim. BRK elected Stefan and
TRK's scrum half as best players.
