Late post today cause I stayed up watching the Canada - New Zealand game.
It was amazing! Sophie de Goede really showed her skill. She scored and then converted her own try (pretty impressive) and was just generally a force on the field. At one point she (a forward) broke the defensive line and had a near-open shot through to the try line and effectively went ‘nah, that’s too much field’ because as fast as she is, she is not a back. So she lobs it off to the girl supporting her. It was a little hilarious to watch; it was 75 minutes in and they were winning by some 15 points, New Zealand couldn’t score a hat trick in that time, especially not with the fight Canada continued to put up until the game was over, beyond the last second.
Anyways, we also went to Pisa. We did the classic hold-up-the-leaning-tower poses and got gelato. We partied in Florence too. It was sweltering - and the place where we had lunch was trying very hard to have air conditioning. The food was good, though.
