It was week 3 of Term 3 on the 3rd of August and it was the start of
new options. I was in Rugby and lots of people were in it. There were about 50
people in it. There were some girls in it. We did the roll and got change into
our P.E. gear and then we all went to the field. There was a little problem
about the field because it was wet so we used the high school field. We picked
the teams and started the game. I was in Mitchell’s team and my position was
right wing. We started first and the game start. It was my teams kick off. I
was chasing after the ball then I slipped. The grass was so slippery that I
slipped on my back. I got back up and saw my team mate got a try. We won the
first game and we had to play another team. It was our kick off and they caught
the ball and my team mate tackled the person who caught it. We got the ball
because of a knock on but then we dropped the ball and lost it. They tapped the
ball and my teammate did high tackle. We had to go out and another team had to
take over us. After 5 minutes nobody got a try so both teams had to go. We
started with the kick and all of us chased after the ball. Someone got the ball
and ran so fast he nearly got a try then someone from my team tackled him and
we got the ball because the person who was running knocked it on. Then my team
mate passed the ball to me and I ran it up to Joey then I got spear tackled and
I lost the ball forward. They picked the ball up and passed it to Sam and he
got a run away but I ran so fast I just caught up with him. They passed the
ball to Vaughn and I tackled him because we can’t get them to get closer to the
try line. They passed the ball to Leonard so fast got a try. The option was
over and we all went to the changing sheds and then went back to our classes. I
liked the option so much because we learnt new thing and I got to tackle people
and got to run so fast. Rugby is a really fun sport.
