Tough fight!

The Australian Rugby League Team 2006

The final match of the rugby league season ended in a brave and tough fight between 2 gallant teams, the Australians and the Kiwis....it was a terribly exciting game that my heart could have just fallen from my mouth....I only started watching rugby here in Australia and slowly learnt that there's 2 types, league and union....managed to catch the finals of rugby union here, my first time watching rugby match here, then now we are at the end of the league season....frankly, I'm a little disappointed that all the excitement's over....at least for rugby league (since I've been watching more of league than union)...

I used to think that rugby is violent, it is still violent or rather rough, but somehow it is such a spirited game that you can get all easily passionate about. My heart was thumping so badly as I saw the Australians and Kiwis draw with a 12-all at the 71st minute...."Come on! You guys can do it!!", I cheered the Australians....I've learnt to enjoy the Aussies' play over the past 3 months and well, supported them for this finals. The golden point at the 87th min during extended time had me and Yogi actually screaming and hugging.... hee+.....that's the level of craziness I am at now....=P...."Thurston!....Ahhhh!!!.....Runnnnn!!!!", then, "Lockyer!....Ahhh!!!", and finally "Ahhhhh!!!". We were elated....it was such a suspense always, when there's a draw....

It was a great game, such a brilliant one for ending the season!....Not to forget the Kiwis who played bravely despite having losing 3 players to injuries, a match's never complete with both teams....=)....And of course, the Australians, though may not be their best game, showed how far determination can bring us at times....
Enjoyed the Rugby League season so much!....probably will not be in the middle of action here next year, but as with all sports, the fighting spirit is always there, so as with all things in life ....As my kayaking coach used to tell us, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going"!....That's something I try to carry with me at all times, and I hope that all of you do too....!...Jia you!!
