National Centre for Indigenous Excellence

On Sunday August 8th, we went to the National Centre for Indigenous Excellence to see the U-16 rugby championships. The game we saw was the first one of the day between Northern Queensland and Northern territory. Northern Queensland took the easy win with a score of 40-7. It seemed to be a very lopsided game. One thing in particular that I noticed was the size differences in the U-16 division. I think it is that age where some kids are far more developed than others. Some kids towered over others.
This rugby was the first one I have ever seen in person, I have seen a few on television and really did not have a clue with what was going on, but when I saw this game in person, I understood a lot more, especially with the help of one of the boys mothers who helped explain some of the rules to me. I feel that this field trip was a great learning experience and look forward to going to other Australian sporting events
