Royal Thai Police secure Phuket Heineken International Rugby 10s
Phuket Rugby 10s: In a thrilling final played on Sunday evening at Karon Stadium, a robust Royal Thai Police (RTP) team stole the title from last year’s winners, Kriel Roosters by a score of 31 – 5.
The game was full of big tackles and charging runs to the try line.
The first half ended with RTP holding a 12 – 0 advantage, and soon after the restart boosted their tally to 19.
The Roosters rallied mid-way through the second period to give themselves some hope at 19 – 5. The resulting kick off led to a missed tackle by the Roosters, and RTP ran in their fourth try.
RTP’s fine performance was polished off with a final try just before the whistle to seal victory.
