The boys were far more positive going into this game and their pre-game preparations were far better than before our previous hit-out. This showed from the outset, with the boys posting their first try in the first 5 minutes. We then lost our way, allowing the Kiwis back into the game. In a see-sawing affair, punctuated with some great passages of play, outstanding defence and some frustrating periods where the team appeared completely lost, we scored in the final seconds to post a 17 – 12 win.
Whilst there is still plenty to work on, it was great that the boys were able “win ugly”. Try-scorers were Tama, Sam and Andy and our Player's Player was Syd, with honourable mentions to Shanan and Harry.
We head south tomorrow to Turangi, where we will visit the hot pools and prepare for our trek over the Tongariro Pass.
Terry and Yvonne at the Stadium Motel were outstanding hosts, coming to both our games, and intending visiting at Cambridge too.
winning in NZ !! Great work boys
