Speaker 1: So yes, as you're ripping start to their sides in.

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the boys were excited post game. I think what

37
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: you maybe didn't see on the live stream was it

38
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: actually quite a strong wind going literally north to south

39
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: on the field.

40
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, the.

41
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: Boys played into the wind first half and actually it

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: was stronger than probably it looked like on TV was

43
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: being able to turn around in that second half they

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: were able to use the wind to good effect as well,

45
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, good trip back home. Everybody's safe and

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: well no major injuries, which is always good. So that

47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: keeps coaches happy big time, and a great opportunity to

48
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: get down at the Showgrounds this weekend and support the team.

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Do you like what you're saying from the side early on? Yeah?

50
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: I do. Probably what I like most is the connection

51
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: that this team's made. Those boys seem really close and

52
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: really tight, genuine care for each other, and they really

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: want to represent the community and represent the region well,

54
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: play a brand of rugby that's exciting and gets people

55
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: excited about what they're doing on the field and also

56
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: off the field. We saw that amount summer's with their

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: preseason camp and inviting the local community up to meet

58
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: and greet and do that. But ultimately we want to

59
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: make you know, the showgrounds a bit of a fortress,

60
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: make it a tough place for people to come and play,

61
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: and Matt and the coaching team and the management team

62
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: have done a really good job of bringing everybody together.

63
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: So our job at the Union is to make it accessible.

64
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: So good news, no match fee, no entry gate, entry

65
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: fee this weekend.

66
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Well, once again it's Friday, get free to get along.

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: We've had a couple of spons locally come on boards,

68
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: which is helping out and ultimately a reunion you know,

69
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: porting for us to get people there. So the only

70
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: time I think we'll be charging this year at the moment,

71
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: certainly for the four scheduled games that we've got at

72
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: home will be our charity game. Obviously we're doing a

73
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: lot of fundraising for that one end of the year,

74
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: so it's a donation, yeah, But these next three games

75
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: at the gate it will be free, get along, get supported,

76
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: supporting the teams no matter which team it is. Some

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: fabulous talent in our sixteens and eighteen so we'll see

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: them this weekend. So if you want to get along early,

79
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: just have a look at you know, some future Hammers maybe. Yeah,

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: there's an opportunity there if you're not doing that and

81
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: you are out and about. Our a's are down at

82
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: North of Tago as well, so that's the other thing

83
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: is they're heading down for twelve forty five kickoff down

84
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: at the showgrounds at al Marus. So again if you're

85
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: you're headed south for whatever reason, stick ahead in and

86
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: give give them a bit of support as well.

87
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Bring it on. We'll catch up the show grounds tomorrow again.
