Luxembourg:


As one can guess from the score, this was very much a one way game. With Charleroi presenting 13 players - some of them U15 - they were courageous but couldn't never challenge Luxembourg.
Any hopes the visitors had were quickly dissipated when, right in the first minute, Martin Pacaud intercepted a ball in his 22 and went all the way to the try line. From here, with Benji Simpson
enjoying plenty of freedom and Christopher Rossa finding boulevards on the wing, first half can be described by the 8 tries Luxembourg scored. Christopher scored an amazing 5 tries.
Pierre Ducreuzet and Benji with one try and 6 conversions settled the score 52-0 at half time.
Second half wasn't much different. Matthew Hopwood, Robert Irons, Gauthier Lachaise twice, Mario Bus twice and Benji with one try and 4 conversions took the final score to 95-0.
Although the rugby played sometimes lacked structure and there were a few concentration mistakes, which is normal under the circumstances,
Luxembourg boys played a serious game, respecting the opposition and the spectators. 

Man of the Match: Benji Simpson
