The holidays

In the holidays I did lots of exciting things but there is one that I loved the most and that was reps rugby. Reps means representing so my team was representing Hauraki. We won both our games. We played Waihi and Paeroa. We won 67-7 against waihi and 68-0 against paeroa. I scored two tries, the person that scored the most was Jay he scored 6 tries. I think that we did really well because we are four teams combined and we had only trained twice together. We had really big jerseys so we had to tape our selves because they were longer than our arms. It was very muddy and we had to keep scraping the mud off because our boots were very heavy and we could not run. I watched the other team that is representing Hauraki which is the older grade and they lost their first game but won their second game. We had to share a changing room with them, there was 34 kids plus the coaches in there so it was crowded. I played as winger and flanker. Winger is when you are on the side of the field and flanker is on the side of the scrum, we do not push in the scrums which is lucky because it is under 43 kg’s so all the forwards are too heavy so they are playing for the older grade. We have all our older backs from the under 13’s are in the scrums. We have 17 players in our team so we have two people subbed at a time. The forwards do not often get taken off because we have eight bigger boys and nine very little boy’s. I am the littlest in the whole tournament weighing in at a massive 28 kg’s.
