Rugby

The sun's out again and just in time too! It's another Rugby Weekend, and this week it's the Las Vegas 7s! 

I thought maybe it might not be a good idea to have a blog about rugby...but hey! I'm Fijian! We live and breath rugby! Our Nation has held the 7s world cup Twice! I wouldn't be a true Fijian if I didn't have any rugby-related items posted on here. So here I am, being patriotic, flying our flag, singing as much of our National Anthem as I can remember and blogging about Rugby.

Last week, Fiji managed to reach the finals in the Wellington Sevens and faced off with the All Blacks Team (New Zealand). Now even though they left us in their dust and smacked us hard with the taste of defeat, we should be grateful at least that the team reached the final. And even though now New Zealand is leading on the World Series Title Score Board, leaving Fiji trailing in second we should be thankful that we're not last...

I mean, hey...we didn't win. No hard feelings...

So this week, we have new hope! Maybe, we can actually win the tournament this time.
AND SO BEGINS THE SAME OLE RITUAL....

Usually the guys get together, the family even, around a bowl of grog with the television set atop a pedestal in all it's glory.

NO ONE is allowed to walk by the television (you'll be excused if you're made out of glass), the remote must be in arm's reach and if you think about changing the channel....do it with the knowledge that you WILL die.
If need be, they'll stick an insignificant nobody on the roof to hold the aerial in place, or maybe those small rabbit eared aerials out the window.
Everyone will have a pen and paper ready to write to the paper editors, their reviews on the game.

Right before the team plays:

x1: GO FIJI! WE CAN DO IT!
X2: Supporting Team Fiji! YEA YEAH WOOT!
X3: Bring home the cup boys!


During the game:


If the team makes a mistake-

X1: WTF WAS THAT REF!?
X2: COME ON!
X3: Whats Wrong with the Team!?


If the team scores-
X1: Woohoo yeah, Go Fiji!
X2: You've got it boys
X3: Finally!
X4: Never doubted you guys!

SCENARIO ONE



If the team wins:
X1: Yeah PROUD TO BE FIJIAN!
X2: Thats how it's done!
X3: Attaches flag to the side of the bus
X4: Honks the car horn while driving around the neighbourhood (Firefox has a red squiggly line on "neighbourhood". Boo! English Spelling all the way!)

SCENARIO TWO


If the team loses-
X1: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..REF'S FAULT!!!
X2: W&^%*  THE *^&^**&* !!! &**^^***))__(&#^&%^&!!!
X3:Rips of flag from the side of the bus
X4: Shuts of tv and goes to bed

We're all hoping of course for scenario one; it's only fair, since we had scenario two last time.
