The excitement surrounding the 90-minute international game gained steam early, with Argentina and South Africa going head to head in the first chukka. The momentum of the match kept building with each team defending and preventing their rivals from scoring goals. By the end of the final chukka, the scoreboard read 8-8, which led to a round of sudden death. Taking full control, Lance Watson concluded the extra chukka by scoring the winning goal that lead South Africa to victory. “Of great importance is the strong development component of this invitational,” says Leo Morwe, Chief Human Resources Officer at Aon South Africa. “Not only is it giving our players international exposure, but it also introduces young, up and
coming talent to the game, providing an important building block in the professional careers of the players. As an organisation, we believe in empowering this possibility. Around the world our mission is to empower economic and human possibility for our clients, colleagues and communities, which is fundamental to the growth of every economy in the world.”
