Recovery day for the boys and they need it. Some very sore bodies after the first game of rugby for a number of months. A short walk to the beach and a dip in the Pacific was the order of the day. By all reports, a rather chilly experience.
The rest of the day was spent in Santa Barbara proper with a number of the boys indulging in some retail therapy.
The management spent their fair share of greenbacks with Paul Downes standing out. There was the memorable sight of him standing in the ladies section of Abercrombie and Fitch furiously texting his partner requesting size and colour preferences.
A quiet evening for everyone. Management had the opportunity to have a few refreshing beverages with their USA counterparts. A good opportunity to make contacts and talk about the game.
After a number of injuries to the loose forwards, the team for the test match against the USA is as follows:
1 Mitchell Graham
2 Henry Yortt
3 Andrew Hill
4 Ben Koch
5 Sam Kilgour
