	HELSINKI 09 DAY 2/3	175 giorni fa
	Day 2 - a quick bit of breakfast was followed by a cultural open-top bus tour of the delectable city of Helsinki. Please note, the majority of Rodents were at least two skites deep by this point. In fact, the Stoat(um) was walking the streets drinking out of a pint glass - you can take a Rodent out of Ireland, but you cant take Ireland out the Rodent! A muckle carry-out was purchased and we embarked on the city tour. It wont come as a surprise that sight-seeing was not the top priority for the Rodents, we treated the bus like a mobile boozer and got torn into the skite. If it wasn't for the Hedgehog penetrating us with Helsinki facts every so often, we would have learnt nothing except for the fact that the Skunk may have contracted AIDS. This topic became possibly the largest source of amusement of the whole tour. Lesions anyone? Who's laughing now?! We proceeded to skite long and hard into the afternoon, witnessing all sorts of things from women getting battered by their much better halves despite several BLOCK attempts, to the Stoat's dad asleep on a park bench. ‘Kangaroo Court’ was held by the Porcupine, as it was every evening for that matter and a messy night ensued. Day 3 - First day of tournament. With two muckle, all-day skites behind them and only one substitute out of a possible five, it goes without saying that the Rodents were up against it going into the first of the day's five matches. However, spirits in the camp were high and we got off to a flying start as we comfortably saw off our first opponents, despite the ten-minute halves, appalling refereeing and humid conditions! Rugby wise the skill level was not world-class, but the Rodents dominated in the physical battle and some memorable hits were put in by the Squirrel, Gopher and Beaver. Our second match was much the same and we won comfortably. Our third match, however, proved to be much more eventful. The Hedgehog came on in the second half and set up a rare, no-frills try for the Skunk in which we was clobbered in the puss by an opponent's boot! The real action came in the form of the biggest scrap Rodent Rugby has seen against our Russian counterparts - all hell broke loose with the Weasel and Porcupine wading in from the sidelines in a 23-man brawl....sorry, 22-man brawl as our resident brown belt Judo expert the Stoat stood back and watched as we knocked lumps out of each other. Cheers Stoat.... "never leave a Rodent behind"!! Block. The remaining two matches saw the Rodents victorious, with valiant displays from each and every Rodent. It was an awesome effort given the fact that we were hanging from previous skites and were loosely skiting in between matches (Jerboa was heavily skiting however). In order to pick the day up, Vlad and the boys decided to introduce a couple of local Roger Moore's into the equation as the Rodents descended upon them like flies around sh*te. Various commando-style maneuvers were adopted in order to get a glimpse of the local delicacies that lay beneath the thong of the girl in white. Unsurprisingly, only the Squirrel was successful after a fake trip from the Weasel! It was a late return to the skite platform that night with our first scoops coming from Molly Malone's pub. This was to prove a fairly special night with hilarity coming from many sources. The amount of "show me what's under yours and I'll show you what's under mine" calls were ridiculous. No night is complete without a female being on the receiving end of a Rodent beat-down -  a young person (as their gender was debatable) was mildly insulted by the Skunk (basics) and when she retaliated by calling him "unattractive" the Porcupine released a batch of abuse all over her, which goes down as one of the funniest moments on tour!! In addition, the first successful game of "Fat Chick Rodeo" was performed in the middle of the bar which is something never to be forgotten.
