Game On!

This afternoon at 16.30 Sweden start their 2 year campaign to gain promotion into group 3A. After finishing second from bottom in the last competition, hope will be high that they will be more competitive this time around.
The match is being shown live on TV in Croatia so what better incentive could there be to display the skills the players have.
If you wish to view the match you could try and use this link, http://www.livestation.com/account/streams/2745112-hrt_2?page=8, otherwise you could view updates on http://twitter.com/svenskrugby.
Let's hope that the stream works and you can cheer on the team and watch your favourite player in action.
The starting line up is:-

1.  Magnus Karlsson                      Hammarby
2.  Matthew Youngman                  Enkoping
3.  Mattias Thorhard                     Hammarby 
4.  Ivar Bengtsson                        Hammarby
5.  Viktor Pettersson                     Enkoping
6.  Mattias Björkebäck                  Hammarby
7.  Andrew Daish                         Old Albanians
8.  Sebastian Taylor                     Old Haberdashers
9.  Lee Taylor                              North Walsham
10. Tim Johansson                       Enkoping
11. Tobias Borg                           Enkoping
12. Alex Taylor                            Nuneaton
13. Paul Sullivan                          Stockholm Exiles
14. Thomas Ardvisson                  Helsingborg
15. Ian Gowland                          Stockholm Exiles


16. Jan-Olof Johansson                Spartacus
17. Stefan Obradovic                   Attila
18. Peter Wiklund                       Vanersborg
19. Andrew Saunders                  Richmond
20. Robin Karlsson                     Hammarby
21. Jim Wetterstrom                   Enkoping
22. Hannes Eriksson                   Hammarby
    There are several changes to the line up from the last match against Croatia and with a some players pulling out of the squad or not being selected there is pressure on those selected in their places to perform. Let's hope they are up to the task and help bring home the first W of the campaign and show the watching public the type of game that truly reflects Swedish Rugby.

      Guess Mike Tatu's selection is justified after all... so much for all the armchair critics.

      I wonder if the self-appointed clan chief Hunter Mabon Sr is now going to come out and apologise for his elderly ramblings and congratulate Mike Tatu.

      Boooooooooooom!

      Fantastic result !
      Congratualtions to all involved.

      I would say that having 3.5 teams competing for the guld, rather than last years 2.5, and a stronger championship could be more of a reason for the win than selection policies... dare i say it, maybe even the hard games V exiles paid off ? I think there are simply more players exposed to good levels of rugby this year.

      Again, well done, and hopefully more wins are on the horizon.

      Well played Sweden, congratulations on smashing some tough opposition!

      9.04 get real, everyone is entitled to their opinion and a lot of his are right, shame you lack respect for some one who has contributed so much to our sport over the years.

      10.00 Well said, tougher games throughout the season obviously paying dividends, let's hope for a similarly hard fought championship next season to raise the bar even higher.
