Rugby World Cup - Irish Rugby Team

Rugby World Cup 2011 - Irish Rugby Team – By Marcel

Today the Irish team came to our school.  It was really exciting.  All the boys got to do the haka for them and there were T.V. cameras there.  It was so cool.  I was quivering when we did the haka as I was nervous because it was frightening to do it in front of the Irish team.  They gave St Clair School a Gilbert rugby ball that they used to play rugby with.  One of the Irish players gave a speech about what they do and about their tour around the schools in Dunedin.  It was good to see them because some people won’t get to the game that the Irish team are going to play!  They played it against the Italians.  It was a good match.

  1. Hey Marcel this is a great piece of descriptive writing. I can really imagine you lads doing the Haka for the Irish players, make sure you get a kick of that Gilbert

  2. Hi Marcel that was a great haka that you performed. Your piece of writing was great because quivering tells us how you felt. We can't wait to read another piece of your writing with this word in it!
