Crusaders Ultimate Come Back!!!!

Well if you don't know already, my favourite team in the super rugby 15 competition is the Crusaders. Sofar they have made great team work in creating tries and have been contesting at the ruck too. I reckon that the Crusaders are a force to be reckoned with. The skills and composure they have been putting in their team is incredible. I mean the Crusaders team has been rehabilitated to a new team. They have been winning games after early losses to the Highlanders and the Waikato Chiefs.

Well I reckon that the Crusaders have the competition in their hands because no team I have seen has  been able to revive  themselves from an early sloppy performance. In saying this............GO THE CRUSADERS.

Eden Park, Here I Come!!!

On Friday the 13 of April, my family and I , approached the train station getting ready to go to Eden Park for the 8th round of the investic super rugby competition. To my surprise when we set foot on the train, it was crowded with people in it. " Move please" I said tying to cut through the que of people standing in the entrance. "Phew" I said relieved as I found a space where I could stand. " Next Stop Kingsland"


"Yay" I said as we finally got off the train! My legs were aching after standing up for 20 minutes and being squashed. Eden Park wasn't far away, so we walked there (Well everyone did). As we entered Eden Park, the game was about to start. The crowd roared as the Ryan Kankowski caught himself running down the sideline that started from an intercept. Luckily for the Blues, Gareth Anscombe was able to tackle him 5 metres from the line. The Blues regathered but were too late after a try was awarded. It was 5-0 and the Blues were trailing by 5. The Blues were down 15-0 but then hitback with an exceptionally well structured try and a penalty. By half-time the Blues were trailing by 5. 


Brrrrrrrr went the whistle. Straight away the Blues were the first to strike after bad  communication from the Sharks that turned into a try to the Blues. For the first time in the game, the Blues hit the lead with a 20-15 lead advantage.  But yet again the Sharks struck back again with a trick up their sleeve with a dummy pass from Ryan Kankowski. The Sharks roared back with another try (which was a knock on) and the crowd went "BOOOOOOO"! I said as well because the Sharks player knocked it on. The Blues had a penalty but were too late to win the game. 


Too many errors were made from the Blues which allowed them to slip away in this highly matched game. It was a great game and I definitely enjoyed it. Now you know what I did in the holidays. I hope you enjoyed reading this!

Warriors vs Sydney Roosters

After the Vodafone Warriors punished the Gold Coast Titans, they await for the Sydney Rooster as they take them on this week. The Warriors will be seeking their 3rd win this year after conceeding 2 early losses to Manly Sea-Eagles and the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs. This week the Warriors need to step up their game even though they thrashed the Titans last week. If their focus loses track, they could be going home empty-handed. But still the Warriors will win! In saying that......GO THE WARRIORS!

Eggcellent Egg Challenge!!

On the second day of our "AWESOME" school camp, we were doing the amazing race. Mr Barks and assisted by Mrs Lagitupu were in charge of the activity. "We are now doing the egg challenge" Mr Barks said. We were given a map to search for the objects. The objective of this challenge was to search for the objects to make a fire and cook an egg.

I was with Aidan, Max, Silas and Hossanah. We collected all of the objects and then dashed down to where Mr Barks and Mrs Lagitupu were. "Light it up" I said out of breath! Our egg was cooking and we were in the lead and behind us were Tyla's group. "3,2.1....YAY! We finished first and Hossanah gulped our egg into his stomach!

It was a great challenge and it was very cool and it shows that team work really works, if we co-operate! To wrap it up I will say it was a very "EGGCELLENT EGG CHALLENGE!!!!

Camp Concert!

“YEAH”! cheered the crowd as our group set foot on the stage. It was our camp concert! Our school hall was filled with cheering and chanting as the beat came on and we started dancing. A Jump Jam song had to be included in our dance because that was one of the rules. Our group was dancing to the songs ‘Krokidil’ and ‘Hot, hot, hot’. “FOOT, FOOT, STOMP, CLAP” I said during our dance. That was the beat and tempo of our dance. “Yay” said the crowd as they applauded us off the stage. The hall was clearly full of talent as the other groups finished their items.

Many of the groups did a really good job with their dance, especially Lepa’s group (Lepa is a friend). It was time to reveal who won the competition and the hall was filled with anticipation. “In first place.......” The hall was silent.............R-RESPECT CREW! The hall filled with applause as the winners of the 2012 camp concert went to the RESPECT CREW! Some people were shocked and guttered to see them win. Others thought that they deserved it.


The 2012 camp concert was great! My definite highlight was dancing on the stage and having a great time. Our group did exceptionally well coming 5th! Well it was my last camp concert because next year I am heading to college. I had a blast with my crew “RESPECTABLEZ”!!!!

The Warriors Come To Panmure Pools!

Our last day at camp started with a huge day at SWIMARAMA. A big surprise came as the Vodafone Warriors entered the gates of the Panmure Pools. The big Manu Vatuvei a.k.a “THE BEAST” did a massive V Bomb into the water. Our school cheered and chanted “GO THE WARRIORS!”. Many TV reporters filmed the event and our school was surprised to see themselves on TV3 news last night.

A huge privilege awaited me as I was able (with Kayde who is a friend) to interview one of the Warriors best props, Ben Matulino. I was stoked because to get the opportunity to interview him was huge. We asked questions about the game plan the Warriors would use to defeat the Bulldogs who were topping the ladder in the NRL. The link ahead is where Kayde(a friend) and I interviewed the AWESOME Ben Matulino! :http://player.vimeo.com/video/38474047
