new zealand sevens team trains at the padang

I woke up this morning and read in the ST that New Zealand gave a rugby clinic to kids at the Padang and that England trained there too. No times were specified, so I wondered if I should just try my luck at the Padang today. I figured, if neither of the teams were there, there might be a chance some of the other teams might use the pitch.

When I got to the Padang, it was empty. Anyway, it was superb weather - haven’t seen a decent blue sky in Singapore for a while. So, I started snapping the CBD skyline, with the Singapore Cricket Club in the foreground. I spent quite a few minutes fiddling with my camera and lenses. When I turned around…

A team clad in blue and white adidas jerseys were at the bleachers, warming up. Samoa? A closer look… spotted Eric Rush: NEW ZEALAND! Happily snapped away for the next hour or so. =)

And no, this is not an April Fool’s joke…

Here you go!
