This week on Wednesday we had the rugby interschools at Auckland University Rugby State. Mr. Ryan took care of us and cheered for us. I was doing rippa rugby with Kaitlyn, Fau, Charlize, Victoria, Farzana, Nicole and Liletina. First we played against Bailey Road. It was a draw and the score was 1 all. Next we played against Sylvia park. We won and the score was 3 to 2. We watched and cheered peopel from our school play against other schools. After we did skills with three teachers. We had three rotations. For the first rotation we learnt how to scrum in Rugby, for the next rotation we learnt how to tackle people and lastly we learnt how to pass like the All Blacks. I had fun learning the skills and also playing against schools. Out of the year 5 to 6 rippa rugby schools our school came first place.

I was in team four. In my group I had Victoria, Alice, Matthew, Acien and Giovanni. Two groups had to go on the stage and watch while the other two teams had to play. We played normal rippa rugby. One team had to wear blue tags and the other had to wear green belts. For rippa rugby we could only pass the ball backwards.

The two teams that was playing had to wear tow tags. This time we could pass forward, backwards and sideways, but if two tags are ripped the person with the ball had to pass the ball backwards or sideways. Once we played a few rounds of Rippa rugby there was two lines of cones. One person from each group had to go to the other side to stand the opposite side of their group. All the groups had to have one ball each. The person with the ball had to have two tags on. The person with the ball had to run and try and trick the person that was standing opposite, by doing the sideways trick. Everyone from each team had a turn. Once we practised doing that we had to do it again, but this time we had to trick the person opposite by taking a step forward and spinning to the other side. The person opposite had to try and take the tag off the person with the ball. After that we had to pick a partner. I decided to choose Ellenora. We had to choose one person to go to the opposite side. Mr. Haymish numbered us. If Mr. Haymish said one the two people who got numbered one had to run and one person had to get the ball from Mr. Haymish, but the other person had to rip their partner's tag off. The person with the ball had to try and get the ball to the white line. We played a few rounds of this game. After that Mr. Haymish told 3 pairs to go in the middle and play. We all had turns being the defender and the attacker.

One team had to go on the stage and the others had to verse each other. Once we finished playing this round we couldn't move with the ball anymore. We had to pass the ball  to other people to get the ball to the other side. When we finished playing this round if someone had the ball the other person in a different team could touch the person with the ball with 2 hands, so that the person with the ball could pass the ball to their teammate. When we finished playing this game Mr. Haymish told us that we had to improve on our passing, so we had to make 3 lines in our team. We had to spread out. The person at the front of the line had to have the ball. The person with the ball had to pass it to the person next to them. We had to try and get to the other side by passing the ball.
