I never learn....

This past w-end was the second time that I forgot to take my camera with whenever i leave Palmy! Our game was in a town called, Whangarei, and it's 2 hours drive north of Auckland. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and every thing was nice and green. At some parts the highway was next to the coast and there is some nice beaches along the way! I can kick myself for not being a proper tourist and taking some nice pic's for my web-blog! My sincere apologies to you all for yet another pictureless post.....I will make this up to you all!
So we played against Northlands, they a pretty good side, finishes each year in the middle of the NPC log, so they not the worst team, but not Top4 yet. We did pretty well considering the things that has happened the last 2 weeks and the amount of training we did the last week. We were leading 13-0 for the best part of the game. We really played very good structured rugby the first half and blew them off their feet. 10min into the 2nd half they brought on first-five, dave hollwell, and he outplayed us as an individual. He picked up the tempo of the game and we never had enough gas in the tank to last the full 80min. They scored their 27points in the last 30min, managing to beat us 27-13. I was pretty happy with my game except for the intercept pass i threw that lead to one of their tries, but that's life hey....i made a good clearance kick,under pressure, from inside our goal area too, so i'm happy with my all-round play! :)
This wednesday the NPC squad will be announced, so it's hard work till then, but it's worth every drop of sweat on the training pitch!
For all you soccer fans...sorry bout england and brazil, but there's 2 reasons i'm happy they not gonna win this year's world cup 1-> brazil have won the trophy more times than any other nation so it's just fair that someone else win's it and 2-> david beckham.
Cant wait for church tonight, we are busy with a theme "Kingdom Atmosphere" and tonight will be part 3. It's just so amazing how everything in your life can change, once you have that peace in your heart!
A BIG congrats to robbie harris who made his currie cup debut for the sharks this w-end! Well done superstar!! Hope there's many more to come!
Have an excellent week and carpe diem!
