Tired and Happy on Tour

We started Thursday tired of the same breakfast and well...tired in general. But we fueled up with the same healthly food we ate yesterday and had a good, intense practice. We scrimmaged and had the traditional "Coke vs. Pepsi" game. The "Coke" team are the seasoned and wise older players. While the raw young talent make up the "Pepsi" team. We won't talk about the results out of respect for our elders.
We took the afternoon off to recover mentally and physically. We did alot of eating and sleeping. The team then met for a an egg toss in the courtyard. The goal of this competition was to reconnect as a team and have some fun before another team meeting and serious rugby talk.
Today we are off sight seeing and deepening our team cohesion. All is well in Amsterdam!!

This marks the 20th year that there have been Coke-Pepsi games on US sevens tours, the first having taken place among the US men at the Sydney Sevens in 1989. In the late 1980s there was a big campaign by Pepsi, who marketed themselves as "the choice of a new generation," thus the distinction between young and old.

In the old days Coke rarely lost; such seems to be not the case in recent years.
