Menin Gate Last Post

Hello everyone,

Had an amazingly moving experience at the Menin Gate Last Post ceremony last night. The entire NZ squad (40 of us) were asked to come forward to stand and watch the ceremony. During it the Last Post was sounded, a bag piper played and wreaths were laid. A lovely choir group sung some songs before our NZ squad sung our national anthem. It was incredible, especially considering it is the 100 year anniversary this year. Goosebump central.

Here’s a video (please excuse the fact it’s recorded upside down) of us singing! NZ PRIDE!

This morning we did a quick water session before being allowed to chill out and have the afternoon to ourselves. Tomorrow we play in the Poppies Pre-World Tournament.

Looking forward to that.

Thanks for all the amazing support.
