HONG KONG—On wet cold blustery afternoon the Hong Kong Premiership, saw more than just a change in the weather. At the their home ground, The Rock in Skip Kip Mei, Bloomberg Hong Kong Scottish beat Borrelli Walsh USRC Tigers 16-0. A victory that ominously makes Scottish joint leaders of the Championship.
The appalling weather made it tough for players and spectators alike, with rain sheeting down, and the wet and windy conditions, dictating safe rather than expansive rugby. After 20 minutes, Scottish had edged into a 3-0 lead, with a penalty by Gregor McNeish. Although Scottish controlled the game, created some opportunities, through flanker Ewan Miller, they could not translate that into points, due to the dogged Tigers defense and the slippery conditions.
Just before halftime Scottish pressure was finally rewarded with a try from captain Kane Bouchart, converted by McNeish, giving Scottish a 10-0 lead at the end of the first half.
