After a dismal performance against the Brumbies, the midweek team finished their last game with a good win over the Melbourne Rebels. They scored 5 converted tries to nil. YIC was urging on the Rebels to score a consolation try at the end, but they couldn't fight their way over the line. The pick of the tries for the Lions was a sweeping move finished off by Sean Maitland.
YIC took a tour to Phillip Island yesterday. It concluded with watching the Little Penguins come ashore at dusk - a very impressive sight. Photos weren't allowed. But YIC can provide a photo of the view over The Nobbies seal rocks (home to fur seals) and a sheep shearer in action. He had just 'thrown' the fleece on the floor. Keen biblical students should note this is different from 'laying' a fleece. This typically involves drinking several pots of Fat Yak Pale Ale without a resultant hangover, after which the Lions are certain to win the second test (possibly).
