Hong Kong suffer defeat to Samoa in World Rugby U20 opener

28 August, 2018 in Hong Kong, #WorldRugbyU20s, News by Asia Rugby

 Hong Kong U20 Team got their World Rugby U20 Trophy campaign underway against Samoa, the tournament’s opening match.

The Trophy will run from 28 August – 9 September, with only the pool winners continuing their chances of qualifying for next year’s Championship.

A 41-20 defeat to Samoa leaves Hong Kong with work to do, but there were many positives to take from their performance.

A hat-trick from Samoa’s Frank Vaesavali Tato blew Hong Kong away in the opening exchanges, but Callum Tam did score a try in response, to leave the scores 17-5 at the break.

The second half continued as the first, with lots of chances for Hong Kong, but Samoa’s power and speed proving the difference.

Two tries from Simon-Peter Toleafoa secured the overall 41-20 win for Samoa, with Tam and Sam Down scoring the tries for Hong Kong.

Next  Hong Kong U20 Team faces Namibia on 1 September, before a final pool match against hosts Romania on 5 September.
