Azura's POV
"Here you go my favorite loc having person." Jucinara says as she hands me the line-up for tonight's Gold Medal Match against Canada.
"Thanks Juice." I say as I take the line-up from Jucinara then I look at it.

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I relax for the rest of the drive
Once at Parc des Princes, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, I grab my rugby ball from my bag then my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
When I get on the pitch, Jucinara and I head to the closest end of the pitch then we walk up the pitch while passing a rugby ball back and forth as we talk about random shit.
After we make it to the farthest end of the pitch, Jucinara and I head back to the locker room with our teammates.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, then I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my warm up top and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my green boots.
Once I'm dressed Jucinara comes over and sits in-between my legs.
"Hey Juicy Juice." I say.
"Hi Zura." Jucinara says as she hugs my leg then she sits up straight as I begin running my fingers through her long luscious curly hair.
After a minute of playing with my friend's hair, I pull it back into the normal ponytail she wears for games and trainings.
Once Jucinara's hair is in a ponytail, I lean down and kiss my friends head.
After I kiss her head, Jucinara and I get up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my navy blue jersey while Cairo does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I kiss my soulmate and hug her before I head out to the tunnel
Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Emma and Jucinara then I wait for us to be called out.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Emma and Talia out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for the Canadian anthem then myself, all of the ladies in the starting XI, and most of the ladies on the bench kneel for our anthem.
When our anthem finishes, we stand up then we shake hands with the Canadian players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Talia does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.
