HONG KONG—Nataxis Hong Kong Football Club produced an assured display on Saturday to beat Herbert Smith Freehills Hong Kong Cricket Club 50-7, and move back to the top of the Hong Kong Men’s Premiership.
The result was never in doubt. Despite a slow start by Club, there was always a sense the speed and line running of Club would expose the HKCC defense, which this season has been porous. After 12minutes, Club scrumhalf, Jamie Lauder, broke from the base of the scrum, and was too quick for HKCC, and put the first points on the board for Club. Fullback Glyn Hughes converted, and Club led 7-0.
