Springboks leap over Dragons
The Saskatchewan Rivers Dragons high school rugby team faced their biggest test of the year on Thursday. The Saskatoon Springboks, regarded as the strongest team rugby team in Northern Saskatchewan, shutout the Dragons 44-0 at Prime Ministers’ Park.
The Springboks took control of the game immediately after receiving the opening kickoff, marching over the try line on their first possession. Dragons coach Paul Roy checked his watch dismissingly declared, “that took 50 seconds.”
The Springboks were able to keep the pressure on throughout the match.
But to their credit, the Dragons felt they didn’t quit and kept answering the bell.
