Second rower Kristian Pavlov scored 12 of the visitor’s points with a two tries and goals.
“We know how important the re-launching of U19 championships is for the sport and that’s why we have already started preparations, both as hosts and participant,” said SRLF general secretary Slobodan Manak. “It was wonderful to welcome our friends from Bulgaria. Our plan is to have as many tests as possible for our team and for our venues in the lead up.”
