We've Moved

As some of you may have heard, we were not particularly pleased with our accommodation when we arrived in Sydney.  We had been told that the Hyde Park YWCA was a brand new hotel with great facilities that would be perfect for a touring rugby team.  The reality was somewhat different.  This is not the place to go into detail, but suffice to say that we decided that one night was enough.

The next 24 hours were marked by a lot of hard work on the ground in Sydney by Steve Winter, Chevs and myself backed up by Graham Walker who worked through the night back in the UK.  Consequently we are now safely installed in the Mercure hotel in the centre of Sydney and the tour can get back on track with today's game against Scot's College.

I want to take this chance to thank the boys publicly as a whole for their behaviour and demeanour throughout the tour, but in particular whilst we were sorting out the accommodation.  Everywhere we have travelled there have been comments on how smart they look, how polite and how well behaved they are.
