We finished the day with diner, a social gathering with all the teams, a sauna, a dive in the lake (really), a meeting with the managers and coaches, and of course supper.

Busy but relaxing at the same time!

It’s been a nice day, we’ve played 5 games, won and lost – it’s the opposition we need to progress.

The last game of the day gave a nice finish on the rugby field. The team showed determination, energy and creativity, well illustrated by Ingrid’s beautiful try towards the end of the match, see the clip below. Norway 1 had a difficult start today, but finished on a high note, in a game which we will be happy to watch again!

Tomorrow, we’ll play 4 to 5 games, before heading back to Norway.

At the meeting with the managers and the coaches, we also discussed future collaboration. There is much to gain in working together, both for the national teams and for the development of women’s rugby in our countries. I hope we will look at today’s pictures one day, and say ‘this is where it started’!
