RIPPA RUGBY!!!




On Saturday, September 2010, twenty eight children from the year 5,6 and 7 got chosen to represent Pt.England and Scotland (just pretending where not repre
senting Scotland) We got dressed into our playing clothes and went outside to practice our drills.
Then the ACTION came in and we went inside a bus and it looked flash with a toilet,lights,air fresheners and the driver said that this bus was the one that takes the Auckland Blues to their super 14 games. Darius and I were playing arm wrestling and it was funny because I was close to winning then Darius was almost winning, I was getting tired but I pushed as hard as I could and I finally won!!!!!

As we looked out the window I saw EDEN PARK and started to got excited and started to get up and take off my seat beats and walked outside into the howling wind and showering rain. Me and Darius sprinted to the front with Mrs Lavakula and went under the umbrella with rain washing into my face, Finally we made it to the entrance at gate 5. The workers checked all our bags for any bottles or bad things but no one had any. All of us went up the stairs, put on our Scotland T-shirts and walked to our seats as we sat down we spotted some little kids playing Rippa Rugby and the year five and six are going to play in a couple of minutes. It was freezing cold so Me and Darius went to the top and suddenly we spotted lots and lots of Auckland flags, So we grabbed some and back to our seats we went giving them to our friends Samuela,Potaua,Feki and Mrs Va’afusuaga. There was a call for us to go down the field and play Canada. I was hoping we could kick the ball any time but you couldn’t, The siren went and off we went tapping the ball Lepa took the first run then Me I slipped over then passes it to Potaua and he sprinted off but the other team fought back getting two trysin the first half leaving us with one trys. The siren went and that was half time and that,s was only 10 minutes! The second half began and they started it running straight to me and I ripped his tags off and after a while we scored two more trys and we were in the lead until they scored and it was a draw and in the end the score was even and the same with the year sevens. We hopped off the field and went to go get change into our clothes because our Scotland T-shirts were soaking wet. When we went out we saw the Auckland side practicing. Darius said to me “there are two people painting peoples face’s should we go?” “yip” I said, So we had a race up the stairs and waited in line I go my face painted blue and white stripes and NZ on each side then Mrs Va’afusuaga took a photo of me. The siren went but first THE BIG TV SHOWED ME WAVING MY TWO AUCKLAND FLAGS, AMAZING!!!!!! Auckland Kicked off “GO WELLINGTON” someone said. Me and Darius had our lunch I had Doritos and he had lollies. The first try went to Auckland when someone reached out looking for the try line and he did. Try converted from a close range.straight after there was penalty after penalty. getrting kicks at the post. And in the end the score was 21-16 YAAAAAAAAAY we won!!!!! going home feeling good. I will never foget this day. THE END
