Training Tuesday, Thursday. Saturday match day.

Barefoot kids, gumboots and brollies, cheering Nan and Pop, oranges at half time, 3 cheers and one for the ref, hot pies and a can of fizzy.

The warm whiff of liniment and game face on. 1st XV hakas, club and school pride, playing with your mates and fighting for the win. Final whistle, hand shakes and thru the showers.

Home club house rules, captain’s speech, players of the day and thank the cooks in the kitchen before 10 guitars and a bus trip home.
