The boys start to the tour has been very eventful, their plane from Canberra to Sydney was delayed making them miss their connection flight to Auckland. After 7+ hours at the airport in Sydney, they were finally on their way to NZ and arriving to their first destination Whangarei at 4am.
Even though they didn’t have much sleep the boys were ready for their first day and their first rugby match against Kerikeri Junior Rugby Club. The boys had a strong first game but unfortunately were defeated by Kerikeri 53-15 🏉
