Good game, good game

So I pre-wrote a blog for today to talk about the Black vs Grey game we had scheduled for Saturday. Since the game went ahead without a hitch, I am going to post my comments.

It was so good to play Saturday, I really enjoy a warm-up game against my teammates. It gets the best out of guys to challenge, not just a faceless opponent, but the guy that wants their job.
Though the score ended up a little lopsided, 77 - 41, it was a game where we all showed our defensive prowess and organization. I am sure Augusta and them that follow will fear our solid back line, safe hands and technique.

Moments of note:

-- I think we were all stunned by Jim Roberts reemergence as an active rugby player, and I hope Ty pays up on that bet after losing that foot race. I must admit I never thought anyone would celebrate a try by tap dancing on the crossbar!

-- On a serious note, it was nice to see Kahuna and Scott Hunter put their differences behind them and play together. It made the day a lot less tense when Kahuna admitted the embezzlement had just been a prank and gave all the money back. Though he didn't smile that much, I think Scott thught it was a little funny when it sunk in.

-- A move for the future that will really benefit the team, I think, was Kremlick's move to prop. He really seemed to enjoy himself and his stony hands (which I believe he stole from the Fantastic Four's "Thing") were used for good when pushing the scrum.
"Why didn't i do this before, this is the best position on the field," Kremlick said while holding a small, white rat. "I am so glad I listened to all of Stumpy's advice, it has really helped me come out of my rugby shell!"

-- The one major positive that came out of the game was the quality turnout. It was as if we had advertised free beer at a local pub. People came out in their droves -- much appreciated.
