VIDEO: Southern Kings score their first try as a Pro14 side... and it was fast
By RugbyPass
The Southern Kings shipped a big scoreline in their debut Pro14 match against competition Champions Scarlets.

After a promising start – the Kings held a 7-5 lead at the end of the first quarter and trailed just 10-15 at the half-time break – the Scarlets took control in the second half and scored 42 unanswered points to take the match away from the visitors.

In the footage shown the outside player is too flat to make the best of the opportunity his inside players have provided. In each case they have to reduce speed and turn their body backwards to secure the ball, losing all momentum and giving the impressive scrambling defence the chance to shut down the threat.
