Day 8 Christchurch

At last a lie-in. Breakfasts all finished by 9.30. A days training which kicked off with a 2.5mile run to Hegley Park. Stretching, drills, running patterns. Backs over here forwards over there. The lucky forwards got to do some lineout work with an Irish international. See photo above. Then the physical. Enter Mr. Murray (Brian to you and me). A good half hour of what the lads don’t like. As 2.30 approached it was time for lunch. A free afternoon. Well not so free with clothes to be washed. Dinner included a visit from ex all black Tane Norton.
