With bellies full of breakfast the team took to the Shotover jetboats for the ride of their lives. Sub-zero degrees gave way to 360 degrees as the boys were hurtled into high-speed donuts in the narrow canyons of Shotover Pass.
A short bus ride to the Gondola saw the boys climbing “Bob’s Peak” for a mornings high speed Luge racing, Cool Runnings style, and a spectacular view across Lake Wakatipu to the snow-capped Remarkables. After a lunch time buffet feast where the boys attempted the Guinness book of records feat with the number of deserts consumed by a touring rugby party.
Not satisfied with the morning’s thrills and spills, Queenstowns ice rink hosted a very “unco” afternoon of footballers on ice. A theme that continued in the Botannical Gardens of Queenstown, where the alluring inspection of the frozen duck pond was too much for one fearless front rower who tiptoed across the edge of the pond in a manner that Brockhoff’s “elephants on eggshells” would be proud of, until the inevitable happened and Robbie leapt to the top of the tele-tubby leader board in a single bound!
Robbie!
Hahaha is that Carl that has fallen over
looks like a good day!
Well done guys, looks like you are having fun, bad luck on the last game. Simon get some names and No:s on the front row of that last team, we could use that size in Cooma 1st grade.
Temp:’s and snow look perfect for Rugby.
PS the website is fantastic, not sure who’s the scribe, but well done.
Regards Gordon & Kate Litchfield
Robbie Tele tubby – Tele Wally!!!!!!!!!!
You look very cute in the tele tuby outfit Robs – have to send that to Mum
Looks like everyone is having so much fun. Good luck with the game tomorrow I hope the other team is a little smaller.
You are nearing the end….don’t forget Mary’s suggestion surely the coach who packed the teletubbies costume might be a candidate to wear it!!!

Lots of love from
