Canada's U20 side, which features four Shawnigan alumni, got off to a good start Wednesday, coming out on the right side of a 22-6 scoreline over Zimbabwe as competition for the World Junior Trophy kicked off in Moscow, Russia.
Head Coach (and Shawnigan's Head of Rugby) Tim Murdy's charges found the going a bit tough in the first half, and led 9-3 as the whistle blew for the break. The score would have been even closer had the Zimbabwean kicker not struggled in the opening frame, converting on only one of his four first-half penalties.
