70': Sweden is at 10 meters after a line out - A nice maul will push Norway further before the ball comes out and is sent to the winger. The last pass is fortunately forward.
7-16 74' - Try [10]
7-18 75' - Conversion [21]
Norway is breaking. Sweden attacks more often and faster than before
Norway is penalised and Sweden choose the scrum at 5 meters. The scrum is pushing Norway behind the goal line, Number 8 take the ball to ground but ref sees a knock on that will mean the end of match.
Sweden win the 2011 Viking Tri-Nations.
Norway played very well today, and managed to face Sweden almost until the end. Norway has maybe a fitness issue that they must fix if they want to be able to hold them for 80 minutes, otherwise, we saw a better Norwegian rugby today, That's encouraging for the match against Denmark that will count double: both for European Nations Cup and Viking Tri-Nations. For both, the coming game will be to avaoid the last place.
