A CANADIAN FIRST FOR WOMENS RUGBY
March 5, 2006
History was made in Womens rugby when Canada U19's defeated England U19's with a final score of 20-13.
England's hopes of playing a wide game were repeatedly disrupted by intense pressure from Canada's backs. Canada, meanwhile, moved the ball from side to side with all their backs finding opportunities to probe through the England line.
*Rockers player, Jennifer Kish bashed and twisted herself in for a try to make the score 8-0 for Canada at the end of the 1st half.
WAY DA GO GIRL!!!
