Just after lunch I wandered down to the Willow Lane Athletic Complex to watch the Boise United boys take on Tacoma in a sanctioned USA Rugby match. The match didn't get off to a great start as no one could locate a beer tap in order to release all the amber goodness and therapeutic qualities contained within the 5-gallon stainless steel vessel.
Never fear, an imminent civil uprising and potential serious hydration related health issues were averted with the arrival of Ox and his esky – old boys rule!!!. 
Speaking of Old Boys, the 43rd State Crimson Lions were the reason why I was at the match. I was so stoked to catch up with team mates the likes of DJ the Silver Ghost, Fafitti, Fraser, Smithy, Carny, Barbie, the aforementioned Ox & his bride and No Neck Josh.
The match was a one-sided affair with the local boys lapping Tacoma by a considerable margin. By the end of it, we’d organised to catch up at a local pub - O’Michaels Pub & Grill, later on in the evening.
