| MATCH NOTES Sources: http://www.maltarugby.com: Malta team final line up thanks to Bryan Corlett, Malta RFU Press Officer via Jeremy at www.heavensgame.com. Jamie Caruana club affiliation thanks to 'Bill', forum at www.fira-aer.com. Malta point scorers thanks to 'Klitch' from www.fira-aer.com Thanks to http://www.maltarugby.com for final line up both teams. "There is a saying in Rugby that a really good side can play badly and still win. To a certain extent this applied to the Malta side against a very determined Serb side which tackled relentlessly, but at the end of the day Malta deserved their close win." From http://www.maltarugby.com/ Adam Magro previously represented Australia on a tour to Argentina and Scotland without playing a test. Caruana and Spiteri were new to international rugby. Malta has now won its last 7 international matches in a row. |
