Baa Baa's Open their account

Congratulations to all the guys that made it out to The Green Mile on wednesday against the Turtles. It was a great performance from all the guys fresh into the season. Such slick hands I've never seen before!

Losing talismanic Captain Mike Koen so early to injury was hard but everyone pulled their weight, especially Terre who assumed the mantle and lead form the front with a powerful performance. Playing into the wind in the first half was always going to be tough but we manned up to it and stuck it to the Turtles with intense pressure paying off in the end as Red went over for the first try of the season. The passage of play leading up to it was one of, if not the, best play I've seen in this competition over the years with the forwards rucking and mauling beautifully and the backs pulling off off-loads only Dan Carter could do... on a good day. What was great as well was the way the backs and forwards played off each other and it is really heartening to see the famiarity between players so early in the season.

The Try from Rolo was great, especially the off load and distribution from super-sub Jake and Terre himself to get the ball out to the wing where Rolo was unstoppable. Angus's try was great as it showed how well our forwards were doing from the pick and drive. After putting them under pressure and then conceding a turn-over it was great to get right back at them after their wayward kick and great placement of the ball from Stan?? in the tackle to allow Angus to go crashing over for try number 3.

The wind and perhaps a bit to much jolling in the off season got to us as despite creating chances we struggled a bit to finish but it is nothing a little bit of fitness and regaining the co-ords won't fix! All in all a great performance from the Baa Baa's and a great way to get the season off to a flying start!

Special Mentions:
-Tackle of the week- Rowan 'Rolo' Louw with what the blind, deaf and dumb ref thought was a spear tackle. Knob
-Manning up to the Task- The Front row, (Kip, Gus, Tubba and
Tony) for a great scrum and awesome line-outs, particularily Kip who is new to the prop position and scrummed his heart out and the experiment seems to have worked
Great Breaks- Shiels and Jake had some particularily great runs not taking anything away from the guys I haven't mentioned!
Leading from the Front- Terre who assumed the mantle of captaincy and kept us going forward with his passing
Balls up of the week- Me (Rory) for being put into space by Bert and dropping the ball. Idiot.
Die Hard of the week- Nic Brits for making it out to the green mile for the match. True Baa Baa right there.
Pink Panties award- Andy Heald for going to watch Chicago with his chick instead of playing.

Shweet guys, check you fellas on Sunday for a touch sesh, see you there! Keep checking the site for game info.
