Really awesome tournament even if organisation could have been better at points. props to break up (that 5-0 to cool story bro), Luca who I feel is getting a lot of bad press but who I actually thought played incredibly well, and of course Max and Mathieu for being my most awesomest teamies. Also Tim and Fin who set a new standard for amazing reffing in Europe and which we will all now have to uphold.
In terms of polo I actually feel much more positive about polo than I have for a while as a result of lots of chats with people and it seems to me that most people are on the same page about what could be done to make polo a better sport. I've been thinking about this over the last few days and most importantly I think the reffing situation has to change. It is a thankless job which no one wants to do, Tim and Fin stepped up, sacrificed a whole day to being shouted at with no real thanks other than a few claps on the back. I was pretty pissed when neither of them got any recognition at the end. I think the time has come for refs at major tournaments to be paid, if not in cash then given priority housing and food
