You excited? I'm excited.
Here we are once again, on the brink of yet another derby game, and shit you could feel the excitement buzzing through Robertson this last weekend, and even more so on the field for our last two practices. A good combination of nerves and exhilaration (it is a real word) have what has set us apart in these sort of games in the past - a joke here, a laugh there but when push comes to shove, come game time - the cobras are focused on the goal at hand. Fuck its great playing for this team!!!! sorry getting carried away, but for real, it is greta playing in this team... ok back in, it wasn't that long ago when we were listing to Nick Fent speak to us before the final against Nadoes last year, and the central theme of that talk was belief. Belief in your team mates, in your selves and in the cobras. That is something that I think as a group, a family that we pride ourselves on. Its something you can't explain, only feel, and its the best feeling in the world.
This year we have grown a lot as a side, through Varisty Cup we had the privilege of touring with some new faces that have made our ranks even stronger, and have now joined us in our quest for that championship gold at the end of the season once again. New faces, old faces, matteo, it doesn't matter really, when you pull on those purple and white hoops, nothing can touch you. The expression used often of "The Cobras Family" is not just said to make you feel good or whatever, the dynasty that is Cobras rugby is based on belief and love for one another. Thats what makes us so special, whether its on the Tiger dance floor or some strip club in god knows where, we know that every single on of the guys around you is willing to go to fucking Mordor and back with you. By god its good to have family like that.
No bullshit here, tomorrow is going to be a tough one, perhaps the toughest ones, those Nadoes guys are itching to get back what they lost - wait scratch that - what we took from them last year. They will be in our faces, they will be trying to hit us hard, the works. One has to wonder why that brings a big smile to my face then? Because let them bring it all, let them come at us as hard as they can, because i know, that the guys wearing purple and white, will be hitting them that much harder, will be bringing that much more. I know Jonty Tatz is licking his lips at the thought of charging up the line at red shirts, that Michael Cobi is itching to hit some gaps, and especially Zack Beukman to break some more ribs this season.
Now lets not build these guys up to much, they are just 15 guys, they are not unbeatable and we have beaten better teams. This is just another wednesday night in the end. Another opportunity to have fun and to challenge ourselves to get into that next gear that we are so capable of. So lets take deep breaths in, lets be alive awake alert enthusiastic, lets be fucking magic, lets put a smile on our faces, because in the end when all said and done, "WE ARE THE BEST THERE'S NO DEBATE COBRAS, COBRAS!!!!
Gaaaaad its exciting.... OH SO BRAVE.
