Moving into Spring with a Scrum

Amazing morning to wake up to, scurry out to the beach for a jaunt before work and see the early faces of Spring coming our way.  There is a nice energy brewing as people anticipate the coming of summer!

After another nice day at work, ended the day with the full local color at a Bay of Plenty Steamers rugby game.  These are the local boys, and our clinic takes care of the players as needed, so we are gifted some comp tickets.  They played the Southland Stags, and unfortunately our boys lost 33-25.  

Reminded me of going to a Spokane Indians game, local scene, chilly in the stands, great support and obvious love of this game.  Still not sure I get the scrum concept, but boys did a good job translating rules that they have learned to date.  Definitely a rather rough and tumble sport.  We had fun and now that we own a rugby ball we can get serious at home as well.
