Cheers, Jeers, and Beers

Last month Simon and I caught a rugby game....the best rugby game ever!!! It was the first 'footy' game I went to since I was back in Brisbane. It was the Brisbane Broncos vs. Newcastle Knights. Boy, was it a great game.

First of all, the score was very impressive: 71-6 in favour of the Broncos!! We cheered our lungs out! Second of all, we were sitting in a section that was directly adjacent to the section allocated for the away team's fans. So we had so much fun jeering and trash-talking them, as they did us I assume. Third of all, I had many Calippo's, which are these frozen treats that guarantee to hit the spot on a hot day.

I just took this picture because the kid in the back was so cute. He was really into the game.

Here are little guys playing their own game of footy during halftime. Instead of having Timbit hockey, they have TimTam rugby!

Darren Lockyer. Captain of the team. Playmaker of the Year. Possessor of my heart. Bad news though, he is out for the season because he realized that he cannot live without me and must train for the next few months to get fit for the ultimate battle against Simon for my heart. Or it could just be a severe leg fracture. Plus, I doubt that Darren would have to train to beat Simon.

This weekend, Simon and I will be taking Val to her first Australian NRL game. Should be a good one because the Broncos are taking on the second best team at the moment. She better bring her game-face.
