Day 3

Matchday. Early start, people focused ready for a massive first tour game. The team is pretty excited and prepared. We left the hotel, Ipods in ears ready to pillage and burn. And that we did with a massive win over a tough Dilworth side. The boys were really excited after the victory as we sung "In the air Tonight" (Phil Collins) in the dressing room which our bus wants to make our tour song! The backs moves were looking slick and it was nice at the after match dinner looking at all the Dilworth faces who were clearly disappointed. However we got on really well with the opposition despite a tough and hard fought match. After the lunch we returned to the hotel for the first Tour Court which took place under Judge Kibble. He began by charging Mr Richards AKA Shambles for a series of offences as well as charging a number of boys. They were told they had to sing at the dinner with Dilworth however we were quickly informed that singing "Happy Birthday" in Welsh was hardly appropriate at such a formal occasion in front of the Dilworth Headmaster and Chaplin! Socialising with the opposition was enjoyable and once again the food was tremendous and thoroughly enjoyed. It was amazing to see just how much the New Zealanders ate. I was informed of how they didn't even go to the gym but were that huge! The day ended with a good night out for the seniors in Auckland Town Centre with the birthday boy Eddy Peglau really enjoying himself. A great night after an awesome win and although we're not feeling so great now, it was well worth it!
