I would like to compliment the Tigers on a game well played last night. And while the President of Colorado Youth Rugby was in attendence! You guys passed, supported, tackled, defended and ran the ball superbly. Who knew Marcus had such wheels. Kudos for the hat trick Marcus. And the best play I’ve seen this year was Albert’s try. The scrum got the hook, moved it back to Joe Mack who scooped it up and passed quickly, crisply and perfectly to Albert crashing in from fullback. He took the ball at full stride, catching the Ft Collins backs flatfooted, split the two defenders and headed for the try line. It was a magnificent play. I don’t know if someone called it or if Albert improvised but it was great. Classic Rugby. Great coaching job Nick. Keep up the good work guys and I’m sure you’ll do great in the tournament.
