TALEDO RUGBY TRUMPS REÇUEÇN, 20-3
The Republic Gazette

In their first game in the Rugby World Cup, the national rugby team trounced tournament host Reçueçn's own by 20 to 3. The Taledan offense was bold and aggressive from the very start: #2 Febor Gianno scored the first try of the game only a minute in, followed by a conversion from team captain #10 Starn Anton. After five minutes of back-and-forth, Febor scored another try with an assisting pass from #6 Reve Somel. Another conversion from Starn brought the Taledans up 14 points over the Reçuecians. With a sizeable lead, the Taledan team settled comfortably into what it knows best—defense—and continued to hold their opponents to nothing for the rest of the first half.

In the second half, #8 Tibi Alphon suffered a sprained ankle and head coach Dardo Giovan wasted no time getting him off the field. After the game Dardo told the press he "wanted to keep his players in peak condition." Taledo's only female player, #19 Gane Tabara, replaced Tibi on the pitch. Despite strong Reçuecian opposition she performed well, moving the ball forward enough for a drop goal by #9 Minci Bartolo. At this point the home team's spirits were broken, and after a half-hearted drop goal of their own they largely ceded the game to Taledo. An additional drop goal by Starn finished the game 20 for Taledo and 3 for Reçuecn.

Looking ahead, the Taledan team will play the very aggressive Nieubasrian team on Wednesday, putting their defensive skills to a more proper test.
