The Croatian rugby team has gone down to Switzerland at home in Split in their European Nations Cup 2A encounter on Saturday. The Milan Yelavich coached side started well but a strong Swiss side capitalised on some early Croatian mistakes to take a 18:11 lead into halftime. Croatia failed to score in the second half thanks to some strong Swiss defence. Croatia now faces Malta next Saturday.
