A brutal game it was with relentless attacks and several petty fights breaking out on both sides. Ultimately, the was the Blacks who remained undeterred bringing the game to a glorious and sweet victory! As always, team Captain Richie McCaw lead the entire team through a fine game. Also, the 2 halfbacks, Jimmy Cowan and Piri Weepu put up an awesome support driving the ball forward into the Aussie territory.
Check out their traditional pre-match Haka! It's so 'MAN' when they do it. You can really see it in their eyes that they want the win bad, especially when you have people like Ali Williams doing the Haka! He's so passionate about it and McCaw is simply just oh so sexy! Love it!
Go All Blacks!!!
Tries scored: Mils Muliaina, Tony Woodcock, Piri Weepu, Dan Carter ; Carter 4 conversions
Anyway, aside from the Tri Nations win, my Saturday was awesome yet again. Was totally drained by the end of the day. We had our usual touch rugby session again this week @ Bishan Park. Despite the gloomy weather and slight drizzle and the fact that it rained the night before, I'm certainly glad we chose to carry on with the game. After all, getting muddy and dirty is all part of the fun in sports like rugby! *woohoo* The turn out numbers are growing as well. This week we managed a 5-a-side game going with roll back. One things for sure, it was a tiring game alright. It's either because I'm damn unfit or that the intensity of the game went up a notch, and it didn't help either that the afternoon sun was coming up, which kinda screws with ur brain a little! Nonetheless, it was definitely fun. Quite upset I won't be able to join the gang for the next 2 weeks as I'll be on a family vaccation.
The after game proceeded with lunch and heading over to my place in preparation to catch the final Tri Nations match. It's really fun when u watch it with a whole group of friends supporting the All Blacks (with 2 crazy die-hard supporters) and just 1 Wallabian! Haha. Ok, anyway, kudos to the Aussies for putting up a good fight right through to the end! :P
I think my house kinda looked like some Sports Club den yesterday. I'm pretty sure both my parents and sister got quite appalled at the sight of so many people in the house. First was my group of friends who came to watch the rugby match. Right after, my brother hosted and invited a whole group of his soccer friends(like abt 20 of them) over for a potluck cum 'let's watch Man U trash Liverpool' soccer match which obviously didn't go their way. But it was scary alright, can u imagine how noisy it got whenever a try or goal was scored. I should have video tapped the scene. Quite a sight it was.
Final words of the day: Touching is fun! hahahaha!
