Around the University of Sydney campus there have been flyers promoting the rugby team’s match against the North for weeks. Everyone was really excited when game time came and I headed to the University Oval with a group of my friends from St. John’s College. We got there early enough to enjoy watching the pre-game match against another Sydney team and a New Zealand team. Despite our enthusiastic cheering, New Zealand handily beat Sydney. We were hoping for better luck during the main event. It was really cool to watch the University team because three members of the team go to St. John’s College. Everyone was out cheering for them and it was a great time! Now that I have seen several rugby union games, it was much easier for me to follow and get involved in. Still, I made sure to sit by some Australian rugby players so that I could make sure I had all of the rules down. Unfortunately, Sydney lost the game. However, the team played really well and there was plenty of excitement! I can’t wait until the next game so I can go and support the University of Sydney team.
