First night in Auckland. All boys were incredibly tired. Probably the easiest anyone has got us to bed in years. Most of us in bed by 8:30. A lovely long sleep later and most boys were up by 9. Breakfast was tremendous, full fry up much appreciated by a group of big hungry lads!
Off on to the bus at 10 and back to Dilworth for training. Both teams trained well in the rain in preparation for tommorow (have you seen the forecast!). After a good session only cold showers were available, the opposition treating us in style. After this into the dining hall for another grand lunch provided by Dilworth. The boys are definatly appreciating these, everything is done on a large scale eating wise over here. Massive chicken pies avec potatoes. Perfect after training grub.
Stopping off at the hotel to collect some things before heading off downtown to Auckland for a shopping spree (you will be glad to know that nobody broke the bank). We spent a couple of hours there exploring the surroundings before returning back to the hotel for a couple of hours. Tonight we are going back to Dilworth for what i am sure will be another massive meal and some time with the opposition. I'm sure the boys are looking forward to seing the size of the boys we are up against tommorow.
Game day tommorow. Boys are starting to get edgy. Hope you have enjoyed this epic
Tom with a small bit of help from Matt
