Zee takes lead in NA4 Try Scoring

Zee battles to make the Eagles 15s.

The North America 4, or NA4, is a round robin tournament in which Canada and the US each play two teams to help decide which talent will make up the National side for each country. Canada plays it's East and West teams, the US plays the Falcons and the Hawks.

Zee, already a player on the USA 7s side, is playing for the Falcons, and scored two tries against the Hawks on Saturday, taking the early lead in try scoring. An excerpt from the report:
The Falcons really took charge of the match in the last twenty minutes as their forwards asserted dominance over the Hawks pack allowing Erskine’s vision to create two tries for Takudzwa Ngwenya ‘Zee’. One was from a cleverly crafted cross kick and the other from a neat skip pass to end the game.
That's puts Zee at 2nd in points overall, Flyhalf Erskine edging him out of the top spot with a try of his own and 4 conversions.

This bodes well for his making the US Eagles 15s side and getting to go to the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

Congratulations, Zee!

Luby gets some Super League time.

On a related note: former DARC 8-man Brendan Luby got some playing time in a Super League game last weekend, becoming the first player to come through DARC and make it to Super League play. Apparently, he's not a nice cleat stamp in his chest for his trouble. Luby learned how to play rugby with DARC starting just three years ago and took it like a fish to water, which isn't the only thing he can do like a fish. But what goes on tour....

Congratulations, Luby (even if it it was for the Quins).
