Okahu Game 4 - let's play ball

We played some megahuge polynesians today. This is a game that could have blown out in our favour, but for us falling asleep during the middle period of the game, and that only one team was playing positive rugby to win 5-2.

Us.

These lazy arses walked over each of our rucks (and boy did they take up space), got in our way at every offside, and rarely made their own 5 meters, and played the ball slow. Seemingly, it wasn't just us who fell asleep, but the ref too, who missed at least three obvious touches and was deaf to our calls.

We raced to a 3-0 lead, the third try being a lucky call in our favour for Stu's roll the ball onto the try line. As if he was trying to make up for that blunder, the ref gave as many calls in their favour after that, including a try which obviously wasn't.

They threatened to come back by scoring two tries, but then we got our act together and scored two more.


Anyhow, the easy games are over - the tough teams are up next...
