Rugby last night
Mar. 16th, 2003 09:30 amRained ever so slightly for a little bit before halftime, but it was so fine that while I could see it against the lights, for the most part I couldn't feel it. Obviously equipping ourselves with enough wet-weather gear to deal with, well, the rain bucketing down as I type this, worked to keep the rain away last night.
NSW beat the Bulls 26-16, but it was a mixture of good play and hopeless hopeless play. The ball and grass must have been very slick from the bit of rain earliar and then during the match, as ball-handling skills were atrocious.
However, Nathan Blacklock coming on in the second half and scoring one of the best solo tries I've seen (with his first touch of the ball of the night) was amazing, as was Turinui's try, where the defense just opened up in front of him like the Red Sea parting :)
