TACKLE!

I always watched those rugby games in the tv and in the stadium and always wondered if that game was so exciting as everyone says.
TODAY, I played some rugby with the OC girl's team against Tawa College and had the GREATEST TIME ever. All the running, the tackling, the mud...all that is SO EXCITING.
I was really scared at first. Although I am quite "big" and hard I don't have any skills, so I thought I was going to be tackled down and die in my first attempt of running. And that was definetely the opposite. I ran, I tackled and did things I don't even know the name [had something to do with "engage" in the end] and had HEAPS of FUN.
That's New Zealand, my friends. Everytime you think you've had enough, you just get tackled, fall in the mud, get up and run again and get tackled again. I'm used to get muddy [thanks to soccer] but I never felt so pumped and I was never that muddy as I was today.
Thanks girls for inviting me to play, thank you very much.
New Zealand, New Zealand..I LOVE this country.
