Scone succumbs to dominant Devils scrum

20th May 2014

The Gunnedah Red Devils picked up where they left off against Barraba with a 57-7 demolition of Scone on the weekend.

Previously trailing Scone on the Central North Rugby Union leaderboard, the win pins the Devils in outright fourth position and within sight of their top-five finish target for the first half of this season.

Devils co-coach Nik Hannaford said it was their set-pieces and their scrum in particular which got them over the line, quite literally, on Saturday.

“We pushed at least two, maybe three over for tries,” Hannaford said of the dominant Gunnedah scrum.

“That area has been pretty solid for us all year.”

Scone’s only points of the match came just minutes after kick-off.
