We lost this game for "fifth" 7-3. Now please, let me roll out the excuses!
Somehow, we were the only team to not know that the game started 15 minutes earlier. We were six minutes late and started with a 3-0 default deficit. Even then, we were only four, then five. We couldn't hold the line before our sixth guy arrived and conceded the next two tries.
In the final fifteen minutes of the game we tried to claw back with three tries but they got a couple two, playing much better than the last time we met.
Congratulations to Wha Kare, you have beaten us to come fifth :-)
So what's the verdict of our team thus far? At Okahu we were fifth at best, at Tamaki sixth. Are we that useless? Daniel and Jono turned out to play today's game 5 minutes then 15 minutes after the final hooter.
Yes, we're struggling to get a solid team together with numbers to burn on the sub box. Yes, we've got niggling injuries. We'll struggle again this weekend with the same excuses at the All "Asians" Easter tournament, but at the end of the day - all good teams can win in any scenario. We've got to drop the pants of shame and put on the helmet of fame and kick some real ass for a change... ...if you get what I mean.
