SeattleVilkings 7 - KES 79
A young KES squad rewarded the coach with a handsome victory at Magnusson Field in Seattle yesterday in the Tour's opening fixture. The home team found it difficult to secure enough ball to threaten the tourists, and what possession they had was disrupted by an aggressive KES defense ( hope you like the way your correspondent has slipped into the vernacular - "defense" with an "s").
But it was the KES "offense" that stole the show.Right from the start, all 15 tourists looked determined to play an attractive brand of rugby that had the coach purring well before half time. Thoughtfully skippered by James Protheroe, the backs picked good lines, feasting on the excellent ball provided by the forwards. Dylan Sanders and Will Slowen carried the ball to good effect, and Rupert Macey barked the orders at scrum half.
All in all, an impressive start to the tour. Fabio Powell has kept some of the more experienced tourists to play in today's sevens tournament. They have a tough act to follow, but spirits are high in the camp.
