After the Gold Coast Rugby Carnival we travelled north to the Sunshine Coast to take on the grammar school. The weather was horrendous with hammering rain for several hours, something that we thought would suit our game down to a T.
Instead we were given a masterclass in school boy rugby from the 1st and 2nd team at Sunshine Coast Grammar. Both sides lost heavily to full strength sides featuring Queensland State representatives and some Australian School boy players.
Despite the boys being really disappointed by the results and performances we were able to take away some really valuable lessons and incorporate some of these ideas into our gameplay.
After the games the boys spent two nights with their host families in Mooloolaba, enjoying a taste of local life by the sea. They were really well looked after and enjoyed their time with the local school kids, being taken out to the beach, BBQs and soirées. We had a much needed day off at Australia Zoo where we were treated to a display of brute force and power from the crocodiles and tigers.
We have now moved up the coast to Coloundra where we will play Coloundra Lighthouse RUFC tomorrow.
This afternoon the boys are enjoying some free time on the beautiful coastline.
