Norway v Denmark in Odense (ENC 2C; Viking Tri Nations)
Venue: Athletic Stadium
Referee: Welfring (Luxembourg)
Preview
Norway has a slight advantage over their Danish visitors regarding results over the past two seasons. Norway’s record of a win and a draw is testament to an improvement in the standard of their international rugby, especially when compared to the results of their encounters in the 90’s.
The overall points table below paints a different picture. Denmark is a serious contender for promotion to ENC 2B for 2012-14 competition, whilst Norway is in grave danger of relegation to ENC 2D!. A win with a bonus point for Norway is what they need to catch the tail of the field.
“…the final game of this years Viking 3N which Sweden has already won so these two teams playing for 2nd and 3rd. Peter Burke has taken the position of Norway's head coach after the previously appointed Steve Bates was unable to commit to the role.”from ‘Quentin’ http://www.fira-aer-rugby.com/forum2007/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3887
“…Søren Brobyskov that had 41 caps has decided to quit on national level.: ‘exile’ http://www.fira-aer-rugby.com/forum2007/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3887
