Ugh...

Well, we played Liahona and started out to a great, fast pace. We scored first and fast, twice. Then Liahona picked it up and we seemingly began to self distruct. Leka pulled his hamstring in the last play of practice the day of the game, and then we lost Jimmy again during the game to his hamstring injury. The final score was 29-19. We have yet to see the Highland Rugby we are used to, not that they aren't trying...We just aren't playing at our level. The boys made it safely to New Zealand and went immediate to Hatu Petera for a ceremony and the B side game. The second 15 won 5 trys to 1, so that was a little morale booster. We had Fo and Junior back from last year come and play because we have had quite a few injuries and needed some bodies. The boys just left down to Hamilton to Church College, and have been enjoying a bit more variety in food than they had in Tonga. The following slide show is from the first of the trip. It took a long time to upload these, but I am going to try to get the first game against Tonga High in the national stadium up tonight if I can. Oh and I am sorry about where it says the name of who posted the slide show, it only puts the first 3 letters of the name, so I will try to change that tonight so I'm not offending anyone :) That was definitely a surprise...
