for real..?!

after today's matches i'm feeling pretty tired. it's only 8 o'clock here, but i'm ready for sleep..and was ready at 6 o'clock. i'm forcing myself to stay awake in hopes that i'll sleep past 3:30 tomorrow morning : /

so today..
our first match against spain was quite the battle. we played a lot of defense in the first half and spain ran in one try. one of the spain players called me "estúpido nigger" after running into me coming out of a ruck. that was an especially nice way to begin the match. in the second half, we put on our offense shoes and ran a bit more with the ball, but still battled quite a bit. about 4 minutes in we scored our first, and only, try of the match. kimber slotted the game winning points with a penalty kick in the last play. we were all pretty happy to end that battle on top.
our second match against tunisia was a battle of a different kind. we scrambled more than necessary and put ourselves in stressful positions. we came out on top, but recognize a lot of what we'll need to fix for tomorrow's matches.

tomorrow we play in the semi final match against australia at the hong kong stadium, where the men's tournament is being played. i'm pretty excited to play in the stadium and am looking forward to the match. time to go to work!
