Saturday was all about concentration, consistency, and finishing off 2012 with a win against a strong Bern team. We knew we’d let ourselves down vs Bern in Luzern, and it was time to do our progress justice.

It was always going to be a tough day, but RCL Men stood up to a significantly more experienced team and fought to the death. Facing a team that recently played Ligue A rugby, the difference in the levels of experience was clear. Fribourg were a highly clinical, polished team.
