The ruggers from Lord Byng are back and deservedly unpacking bragging rights from their mid-season rugby tour in Australia.
The Grey Ghosts went undefeated in six tour matches, winning by a combined 165 鈥� 52.
The closest contest came on their last day when Byng鈥檚 top-tier 15 (the school sent enough players for two tiers) beat Matthew Flinders Anglican College 19-17 in Buderim, Queensland on March 21. But coach Ian MacPhee said the toughest challenge came from St. Theresa Catholic College in Noosa, New South Wales on March 18.
The Aussie hosts scored first and then again to start the second half before Byng put up points twice in the final 15 minutes to win 17-10 and stay undefeated at 4-0.
鈥淲e were really happy with how focused our boys were and we're hoping that this focus continues into our regular season back at home,鈥� said MacPhee.
He and coach Michael Mallette travelled with 30 Grade 11 and 12 student-athletes to New South Wales and Queensland from March 8 to 23. Read more and click through the photos on the team's .
