So I played for half the match on saturday - or at least, two quarters as we played four 20 minute quarters rather than two 40 minute halves. Final score was 74-0 to us and far from letting the team down, I opened the scoring with the first try of the season. Yay - go me!

I still ache like a big aching thing - mainly because I took a big hit and got whiplash so the main challenge for today is to be able to turn my head more than 45 degrees in either direction. I’m sure my chiropractor will be pleased to see me again - it’s been a while.

And then I socialised with the team at a post match barbecue which all got very messy at about the time the absinthe shots came out…
