Scion In Sin City, Day 3

Unfortunately, Day 3 of rugby in Sin City wrapped up early for the Scion Elite side. They faced a tough South African side early in the morning, and though the Elites fought a good fight, they weren't able to put up enough points to grab the win against the Springboks.

South Africa jumped out to an early lead in the first half with a couple of tries. They were led by some physical play in the breakdown, and the breakdown was where Scion received a few penalties.

In the second half, Scion was able to control play a bit better, and with about two minutes left on the clock, they got on the board. However, South Africa wouldn't give up their lead, and put another try on the board following a good series of offensive phases, and the match ended with South Africa on top 17-7.

Though this wasn't the result Scion wanted, they, once again, played strong against an international side. Out of their five matches in Vegas, four of them were against international teams. Each of those four matches were were close, with 15 points being the biggest point difference (in the Great Britain match), and one ending in a Scion win (the Japan match).

All in all, the Scion Elite side left their mark on the Vegas 7s Tournament. They showed that they could play with the best in the world, and they will use their experience in Vegas to continue to build a successful 7s team and Development Academy.
