In the tradition of the 2009 Wallabies 'we lost but there were many positives to take away from this game'.
I lost count due to severe oxygen deprevation but I think the score came in somewhere around 7-1. Our only try-scorer was "Twinkle-toes Turnbull", who excelled throughout the match with his diving and general falling over abilities, until one dive to make a touch proved to be one too many.
Diagnosed later with a fracture of the Humeral Tubosity, Turnbull commented that he was "gutted, as I'd finally found the speed I had as a 16 year old. I'd been working a lot with the strength and conditioning boys and we were on track with the goals I'd set. I can't believe I've done me HT, ya know?"
The Patriots were far too young and seemed to have Star Trek-like teleporting abilities. One second the guy with the ball would be in front of you as you reached for the touch, and the next second he'd be 10 metres away. Was X-Men really a documentary?
The Hasbeens produced some good footy in this match. Defence was generally pretty good (for the first 10 minutes at least), and there were (again) several poor decisions that denied us 2 or 3 tries that would have made the scoreboard more respectable. Big Dave wasn't shy in letting BJ the referee know his thoughts on her interpretation of the laws.
Alas, Sammy 'the Bull' Turnbull looks as though he will miss the remainder of the season. More reason for the rest of us to "FIRE UP!".
