Shoot-out agony for Netherlands - but in rugby!
By Nicholas McGee
Netherlands have famously struggled at penalty shoot-outs in football through the years, and it seems they fare little better in rugby.
The extremely rare event of a rugby shoot-out came to pass in the European Under-20 Championship as Belgium took on Netherlands.
The match reached full-time with the scores locked at 30-30, leaving kicks at the posts as the only way to separate the teams.
And there was agony for the Dutch, as their neighbours prevailed after five efforts apiece.

Kinda strange that he wasn’t with a premiership team or a higher level of rugby? Start playing late or something? With that kind of size and athleticism you’d think someone would have picked him up?
