Kituro scored 56 tries to beat rivals Soignies on Sunday.

Soignies, who had beaten Kituro in the Belgian Cup a week earlier, arrived at their opponents' ground expecting to play at 3pm. but the referee did not turn up. A substitute referee was found but he arrived about an hour later, with the match itself starting at nearly 4:30pm.

'By that time some of our players had gone so we only had 17 available rather than a full squad of 22,' Soignies club secretary Stephan Carnol said. 'We will be appealing to the rugby federation saying that the match was not played in optimal conditions given the absence of the referee.'
