Queens University Belfast Rugby Club I XV 33 v Naas RFC 22 in 260+ Action Shots LIVE HERE!

During this game Queens RFC defended & attacked very very well as a unit of rugby. In attack and defence Queens were a unit of rugby that fought and clawed and scraped and worked and worked and worked and worked and put themselves in a position to show themselves and each other the incredible power that exists in this side. You could see the incredible focus in defence as they followed the ball pass by pass by ruck with each man fronting up and taking the hits and my word some of those defensive hits also pushed Naas back and each hit and each track and with each and every inch Queens rose and when Queens had chances they pounced they harried they jinked and hit and played so well that the mass of individual athleticism and individual ability aggregated into crossing the white wash and scoring tries that were the product of the team. The two interception tries came directly from pressure excerted at the hits and rucks beforehand and the player intercepting had tracked and worked and had been part of those hits and rucks in previous plays and perfectly timed on both occassions the interception. The forward try that was not given overpowered the opposition, the 1st try came from breaking tackles and off loads. They scored 33 points!
