Saturday Inoke told me we were going to watch rugby then we would go out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. He knows that I love that place and I will even consent to a couple hours of rugby watching if it means I get a slice of cheesecake out of the deal. So we headed down to Kapiolani Park and waited for the game to begin. As we were sitting there waiting for all the team to show up, Inoke told me that he was not going to watch; he was going to play. So in true Polynesian fashion in less than two minutes he managed to borrow shorts, socks, a tee-shirt, and oh so conveniently his rugby boots were in the back of the car. Here are a few pictures of the match; I have to say Inoke did pretty good at keeping up with the young guys out there and I was relieved he only got a little black eye and a scraped up leg. Of course after the match he was sweaty and dirty and so my Cheesecake Factory turned into KFC on the way home.
Coach Chris giving them a few words of encouragement before the match...
The match was Laie vs. Kahuku, so why couldn't we play out in Kahuku???
There was only one little fist fight between the rival teams... At least they didn't have to cancel the game and were able to continue on playing.
It's OK that Inoke has green shorts, and his socks only go mid calf...
Baby Vaea was chilling there watching the match with Siki.
And here are the war wounds... not so bad this time around.

Don't you hate it when you are promosed something great to get you to go or do something, then it turns into another thing. "oh yeah, by the way I am playing" after 10 years you would think we know better! :).. happens to me all the time
Ah, good old rugby at Kapiolani park. Oh how I miss it ;) Did I tell you Ieli took me out there on our honeymoon? Nice, huh? I'm sorry you didn't get your cheesecake. When you move here we will have regular girls nights at the one down the road!
Man, Karla, I was laughing so hard up until I heard that you didn't get the cheesecake! I can't believe it!! Such a bummer!
