Fins up for the Makos!

The last two months have been pretty dominated by work as it's the ITM Cup season. Or the NZ premiership. I've been working with the Tasman Makos under 19s team which has been a lot of fun.

We spent six weeks playing friendlies and pool games, traveling all over the south island to play. My favourite was playing against the Canterbury Maori in Kaikora. They did an awesome Haka to start the game off. And we won, which is always pretty nice.

The season culminated in a week long trip to Taupo, on the north island. We played three games and managed to lose one, playing into 60kmph winds in the second half. We won one against a South Auckland team and then drew with Auckland B team.

We had a lot of fun on the trip, I went on a couple of runs, watched some good, fast, running rugby and made a lot of friends who I hope make it into super XV jerseys in the future.
