After a lovely night getting to know our billets we met at school at 8 o’clock outside the front gates. There were various stories from each member of the tour about their billets. My billet’s family was very nice and very welcoming as were many others, however Will Page and Alfie Hutcherson did not have such a great experience with theirs. Overall, it was an enjoyable night for all. Luke Baker finally had a shave and in doing so, shaved off half his face. After the meeting in the morning, we all got changed and went out for training. We trained for 45 minutes with a very long warm up as many players were still stiff from Monday’s tough game. After the practice, we were tempted unsuccessfully to watch a film (the Hangover) so instead, we decided unanimously as Rugby players to get something to eat. We went to the local supermarket, with some buying healthy pastas, with others opting for Subway. At about 1 pm we departed for the playing fields which were incredibly dry and the grass was mainly brown. Many of us opted for blades instead of studs as the ground was so hard and we began to prepare for the match for a 3 o’clock kick off. I will leave the match report to Sam. We all had a well deserved barbeque after our victory before returning to our respective billets to do our own individual activities.
