HONG KONG—Société General Valley kept their nerve and discipline to break the hearts of Bloomberg Hong Kong Scottish with a last-gasp drop-goal from Ben Rimene, to give Valley victory 41-39 at The Rock in Shek Kip Mei on Saturday.

The game swung back and forth in favour of both teams throughout the match, with Scottish hanging on to a one-point lead in the final minutes: then ominously Valley put together a series of disciplined phases of rugby, to perfectly position Rimene to score a classic drop-goal, and snatch victory for Valley from the jaws of defeat. A thoroughly entertaining match. Heartbreak for Scottish, joy for Valley and great entertainment for those watching.
