South Africa in t-minus 2 & ½ hours. We’re all looking forward to having some fun this evening. It has been raining all morning and just let up about 2hrs ago. It’s nice outside—no sun to get in the way of high kicks, no humidity to deal with, no rain anymore (fingers crossed). It’s just a little wet on the field, but we’ll use our white jerseys to soak up most of that.
We’re all pretty loose. There was session of karaoke earlier—John Michael Montgomery, Garth Brooks, Bonnie Tyler, etc—which I believe helped with the loosening. I’m going with a different coiffure this match—braids instead of the headband and ponytail. I can’t wait to get out on the pitch!
9pm
I really don’t know what to say about the match.
I will say that we had 5 new caps (Lunde, Carrie, Sylvia, Libby and Miller), and they all did good things. Lunde had an awesome kick return for a try in her first international match, and that’s awesome.
On a not so positive note, I got acupuncture tonight for the first time ever. I banged up my shoulder at the end of the match, so we’re starting the recovery process on that asap. As a child, I was always afraid of needles, but since then they’ve not been so bad to me. I’ve gone under the needle to get a couple of tattoos and now there’s acupuncture. This could change my aversion to needles forever.
On a final rugby note, don’t count us out just yet…
