My apologies for the delay in updating the blog - as fantastic as the facilities at the Brisbane Sports Super Centre were, their lack of wi-fi meant I struggled to find somewhere to log on.
Anyway the training camp was excellent - after our mammoth 32 hour journey we arrived on the Gold Coast to 24 degree weather and got straight into the training. 3 days of hard work culminated in the first fixtures against Brisbane Boys College - click here to have a look http://www.bbc.qld.edu.au/ - where we came away with a 17-12 win for the 1st team and a 26-0 loss for the 2nd team. There were a number of strong performances from both teams but Rory Hartley showed outstanding leadership for the 1st games whilst Jack Stevens was superb in the 2nd game. Special mention should go to Miles 'Muscles' Singleton for the tackle of the day where he resembled more an exocet missile than a rugby player. This clip is the kick off from the first game which includes a great run from Charlie Lewis.

I also need need to say a very public thank you to all that have supported this tour from the outset, but in particular the families that have followed us on tour and the number of OFs and friends of the school that turned out for the game, in particular Brian Rogers who has provided the photos linked above. To have such a large group supporting us out here was fantastic and was undoubtedly a factor in the boys' performance.
