Lions Tour Manager Attacked

Lions Tour Manager Attacked
IALT: summarise an article that I have read into my own words.

John Spencer was having dinner with his wife, family and friends when a drunk man walked up to John Spencer and started abusing him with bad language and other things. The staff member didn't take action for what the man was doing to John Spencer so he kept trying to push him away. A photograph was requested but a man described to be bruck walked up to him. John was part of the 1971 Lions squad. The only victorious Lions tour in New Zealand. The Lions don't want to make any complaints and don't want to put charges on the man for what he done. All the lions staff has been well treated since they had landed in NZ. The landed on May the 31. He is the only staff member that has been rudely treated since they have landed. The man who was drunk is lucky that they did not press any charges on him. I'm surprised that they didn't want to complain about the man.

Highlanders Beat Lions

Highlanders Beat Lions

WALT: reflect on an article that we have read.

The Otago Highlanders have beaten the lions 23-22 in a thrilling match of rugby. A penalty was given to the Highlanders with five minutes to go which gave the Highlanders the opportunity for a conversion to win the whole game. Earlier during the game Naholo and Coltman scored tries for the team with Sapuanga with two penalties and 2 conversion. In the Lions team they scored three tries Joseph, Seymour and Warburton. The Lions have only won two games out of four during the Lions series. The Lions next game will be against the NZ Maori All Blacks this weekend. I thought that the Highlanders where going to lose because they were down some point in the second half but they kept going and they won the game by one point. What I mostly liked about the game was when the Highlanders gave the sword to the Lions. I got this article from KiwiKids News. What I didn't like about the game was when they just kept clearing the ball because when they went to kick the ball the other team would kick it back and then they would kick it back to them and it would just keep going until they decide to take the ball and run. Good job to the Highlanders for winning their game against the Lions.
