Rugby

Last Sunday was the All Continent Rugby Championship Game. Sadly, the McMurdo Station Mt. Terror Rugby Club lost 22-0 against the Scott Base Rugby Club in an exciting game held in beatiful weather on the ice field on the Ross Ice Shelf. I played fullback for the first half, and although we fielded a better than average team, the Kiwi's really stepped it up this year, it being their 50th aniversary and also hosting a visit by their Prime Minister and also Sir Edmound Hillary this week. That and if they had lost, it is quite likely that they wouldn't be allowed to go back home. So they made sure to step up their game, and history repeated itself as they took home the title once again. Actually, in the entire history of rugby on the continent, Scott Base has always won. But one of these days, we'll take them...
