Day 5

After the quick flight up to Brisbane early this afternoon we arrived at our hostel at about 4:00pm. It is situated pretty much over the road from Suncorp stadium, the venue for tomorrow night's Super rugby final. Having tried our best to get tickets to the biggest rugby union event of the year (bar the world cup of course) I'm afraid we have been unsuccessful. We are instead trying to sort out a local venue to watch the game.
Having settled in, we had a quick swim in the pool on the roof and then went for a walk along the river.
With the second set of matches tomorrow morning it will be an early night.

The boys loved all your comments before last match so we would be very grateful for more this time.

  4. Alright guys,
    Its Zantore here just wishing you luck for the game tomorrow. Your game plan needs to be... you must hold the ball, but hold it at the right time. You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line. They may kick you, they may hurt you, but there's only one way to beat them and that's around the back. You may get hurt, but remember, chicks dig scars! Good luck down under. PS Xavier, accidently spilt coke all over your bed and I am using your computer! Love you mate. Bye
