Finland's latest addition to fast running wings, Lars Margolis, had a very strong debut match for Finland today. Subbed in for Rami Aro during second half, Margolis performed solidly in Finland's wing.

Margolis scored his first try after a nice play by Finland's back line. "I got a perfect little pass from Mikko Järvi, then ran through the gain line before finishing off with my superman jump.

"It was amazing to play for Finland for the first time. This was a special opportunity and I can't wait to get more caps under my belt." , commented Margolis after the final whistle.

Let's see what kind of a surprise the guys have for Lars during 3rd half...1st cap and 1st try, that is something special.
