I'M GONNA LOVE RUGBY LIKE NOBODY'S LOVED RUGBY COME RAIN OR COME SHINE



I'm not afraid to admit it, but I was late to the game because I was still tucked up in bed nice and warm waiting for the txt from Phil to say the rain had caused the cancellation of the game. But alas, that txt never came.

It was, however, worth the effort to drive across earthquake damaged roads to one of the many dodgy parts of town to a rugby game inside a cycling velodrome.

Hornby put the acid on quickly and scored 2 tries while we warmed up, but Blair and Lars soon evened up the score. The conditions were a bit slippery but we held our composure and held on to the ball while Hornby tried tricks out of the dirty tricks handbook by targeting Gavs neck and other illegal moves to get an advantage.
Mr Anal Retentive Referee wasn't falling for that and awarded us a shit load of penalites of which we did not turn into points. Eh?


The second half came with a couple of personnel changes and with instructions from Trouty to stop fucking kicking the ball right up the guts and into their fucking arms. No one listened.

We did however, up the intensity in the damp and started scoring try after try until we ended up 4 tries ahead. That always makes the beer taste better.
And beer there was.
