First game of the season went better than expected. Fielding 14 men (2 of which had never played before) against the countrys best side, meant we were garanteed to lose. Only when we were down to 12 after 60 mins did the opposition remove some of its own players to make an even game. The team battled pretty well, and we only lost 41-13 (I think).
I was all taped up and practising line-out throws, when I was told I could play flanker. Brilliant! Lasted about 15mins, then the prop we'd borrowed went off. There was talk of uncontested scrums. So I stepped in to prop, without a flanker. Unbelievably hard work, but kept the game going. I feel royally fecked today.
