And Don't It Feel Good?!

We had a wonderful rugby weekend last weekend. After training on Friday Nats and I headed down to the Irish pub for a pint or two and to meet Hoey who had some friends over from England and upon leaving the pub heading back to my place (sans one of Hoey's friends) we found the jacket potato place that Kezza had told us about a few weeks before so that was dinner sorted.

After waking up at some godforsaken hour, getting lost on the outer Munich ring road and slathering myself in factor 50 sun cream against the 28 degree heat we went out on to the pitch for our two games of 10-a-side rugger. We played a tough game against our hosts and eventually won it 29-5. I didn't play because we were too many but I did get to play the first half of the second game which we won 62-5!!!! I felt really good when I came off the pitch (although a bit shattered due to the heat) as I thought I'd played quite well, an analysis confirmed by our trainer who told me that that was the best game I'd ever played!!!! Nats later told me that he was stood next to her on the sidelines and he kept saying "who's that running all over the place? Oh wow it's Hazey!" We had a couple of lineouts and my fellow lifter and I got our liftee really quite high up, she was no heavier than a feather. The only downside was our friend Schlumpf going off with a serious knee injury just before the half time whistle and even that's not 100% negative- she had such a blinding game and a half that she was voted player of the tournament. Upshot of this is- we qualify for the next part of the competition with one tournament left in 2 weeks time, we can lose both of those games and still qualify- yay!

Then on Sunday we went to watch our boys play and win their league too, thrashing their opponents 72-0! Their coach told me afterwards how happy he was, it was the best they'd ever played etc. But they weren't as good as us.


Thank God we're not playing this weekend though. I do love it but I also need some time to do some other stuff like go to the Wasen and spend some quality time
