New Zealand’s Under-85kg rugby squad delivered a powerful statement in their opening fixture against Sri Lanka, securing a dominant 50-10 victory at Nittawela Stadium.
From the first whistle, the Kiwi side asserted their authority with exceptional speed, strength, and coordination, keeping Sri Lanka on the defensive for most of the match. The one-sided contest highlighted New Zealand’s physical edge and strategic gameplay.
The two teams are set to face off once more in the second and final match of the series, scheduled for May 10 in Colombo.
