Thank you to Mille for the great photography and Courtney for her expert analysis of Roseberry’s and opponents performance.
“Within 1 minute Ben scored a try but it didn’t count as he took more than one step (he didn’t)”
“Aaron made a mistake by holding the ball more than 3 seconds. Sam ran with the ball in one hand three times in a row giving possession to the other team”
“The other team snatched the ball from Ben’s hand and scored a try that shouldn’t of counted. Leonie threw the ball behind her but it didn’t go to a player. Sam ran with the ball in one hand again”
We were easily the best team and played the better rugby. We just made too many mistakes and we gave up too easily”
