WHERE THE ALL BLACKS MEET THE ALL WHITES AND A REF FROM KLUTZVILLE
For once, the panic about numbers was justified. 15 minutes till kick off and we only had 12. Thankfully H sauntered in and Phill used his Club Captain authority to snag some Division 2 boys so we had a team and a couple of reserves.
Chief did a rain dance and sent up some smoke signals and did a fancy red indian dance and got us on our way with a bloody good try and a bloody good conversion, but as expected Otautahi came back strong and with a will to knock us over. The technical term for the way the points went is a 'see saw' game, with each team scoring and then the other scoring leaving only

chance and a quick hard tackle to decide the final result. Plus having the ref on our side after getting stiff armed tackled and landing flat on his arse while awarding us a try always helps.

Our Div 2 imports made good use of the ball, if they could get it. Apparantly Toad thinks we need a new forward pack to give the backs more ball, but some in the forward pack think the opposite, so it all cancelled each other out. The videos below may help explain things. Or probably not.







Chris, Blair, Massey and Nathan made solid work of their cameos and are most welcome to return but it'll be nice to have our own boys back from travels and injury.

Don't forget, if you're heading off to the School vs College match on Tuesday, the Clubrooms are open at midday for a pre-match cup of tea and a biscuit. Hopefully, that will get you past the nazis at the gate.
