Weekend Round Up
Denver win inaugural ProRugby USA match
Just hours after a thick layer of snow was removed from the Infinity Park pitch, Denver and visiting side Ohio took to the field in the first match of the ProRugby USA tournament.
Ohio looked to be the stronger team, but a few knock-ons over the try line prevented them from putting points on the board. Denver picked up the pace in the 2nd half, with a great comeback in the last quarter of the game to draw things level.
A sudden death over time penalty sealed the victory for the home team in freezing conditions.

The Keyans looked emotional but relaxed as they sang their national anthem in front of the 50 000 strong crowd before hammering Fiji in the opening minutes of the game.
