Wow! This field is smaller than our one!

On Saturday the 13th of August, we had a rematch against Ponsonby Black Pony. We won against them by five points at my home ground in the previous game.

I woke up early in the morning, and my dad had been up all night. When I went to the living room, my uncle and his girlfriend were sleeping on the coach.

I was watching some rugby video because I wanted to watch the strength of the players. Soon after, my uncle and older cousin came to drop off my little baby cousin to my house.

At nine thirty five, my dad dropped me off at my rugby club. My friend's dad picked up my friend Peter and I to go to Cox's bay. On our way to Cox's bay, we put on some deep heat on ourselves to warm ourselves up.

When we arrived at our destination. I released that was the field were I played last year.

As soon as we got off we went to the truck to ask for some hot water but they didn't have any.

Later we went back and we started our training. We passed, tackled and also practiced drive over.

Half an hour later, the game started. Both team went on the field at the same time my team started the game with a kick off . We scored six tries in the first half, this means that we get 50 points for my team and the other team had no tries in the first half. When my team received the ball, the other team got the ball and I tackled hard and made him cry. I got a warning in the end.My team scored nine tries and all together we had seventy six points and the other team didn't have any tries in the second half either.

My favorite part of my rugby game was when we scored seventy six tries in the game because the field was small.

The best comeback in rugby world history!

On Saturday 9th of july, my rugby team had a rematch against Ponsonby Keas.

After I wake my brother up because he had a rugby game as well. Then I went to the living room to wake up my mum and my dad so they can take us to our rugby game.

When we arrived there, we found out that we were two hours early, so I played with my brother because I wasn't able to see any of my teammates.

Forty minutes later, I saw my friend Peter and two of my team mates. We played for half an hour and then I went to the field that we are playing on for the game. All of a sudden, I saw my uncle, auntie and grandpa. I took them to my mum and dad, so they can watch my little brother play his game.

When my game started, my brother 's game ended and my family came over to watch my game. I was ready for the rematch against Ponsonby Keas.

When my team got on the field,I was ready to get my revenge. My team started the game with a kick off. My friend scored two tires and the other team scored two as well in the first half. In the second half, they scored a try and we scored one as well. When the game was about to finish, I scored the last at the corner of the field and my whole team jumped on me because they were so hysterical about the win. I scored in front of my family and it was the longest run that I have ever ran. I ran 100 metres without stopping.

My favourite part was when I scored in front off my family at the edge of the field.

Finally! We won against Pakuranga Holdens!

On Saturday 6th of August, I had a huge game against Pakuranga Holdens, I felt nervous and angry because we have lost to them three times in a row.

I woke up early that morning, and then I went to the living room to watch some rugby videos. When it was nine o'clock I woke my mum and brother up, so we can be at my rugby game on time.

As soon as we had arrived my team had already started our stretches and I was nearly two minutes late.

Next we moved on to some drills for warm up and we stretched, passed the ball to each other, tackling and drive over.

Five minutes later, I saw my aunt's green car so I went over to their car so they know where I was.

Soon the game started and both teams went on the field and we started the game with a kick off. My team went up and got close to their try line and we scored a try. In the first half, we scored one try and the other team scored no try. We swapped side in the second half and my team mate Jonathan scored a try. As soon as the game was about to end, the other team scored a try.

My team had two tries and the other team scored one try in the end.
