Taytum's POV:
Henry has a match today for Exeter Chiefs. I came to watch and support him. We drove to the club and got there at around 12:00. The match started at 2:30. It was against Bath. I left Henry to get in the match mood and I walked out to the stands. I found a space near the other rugby players. I am glad I got to sit near them. The lads trained for a hour and had a break. The match was live on TV. When the camera started rolling, the players did one lap around the pitch and practiced some tackling then going in for a team huddle.

They soon walked back inside to the changing rooms and got their selfs together to start the match. I was nervous. They all ran out onto the pitch and the substitutes sat on the bench. The fans were going wild cheering them on and shouting. "Good luck lads." I said to the ones sat on the bench. "Thanks Taytum." One of them said. I smiled at watched the game. There where a lot of penalties taken and a good amount of tries. The crowd went wild near the end of the first half of the game.

They came back on and started the match. About 10 minutes into the second half Henry Slade went on to play. "Come on Henry." I shouted before he went onto the pitch. He nodded and smiled at me. He ran on and play his part of the game. The score was tight. 18-16 to Bath. Gareth scored a penalty, making the score go up to 18-18. "EXETER!!! EXETER!!!" Loads of fans across the stadium shouted. It was near the end of the game and the score hadn't changed. The final whistle blew and the score was 18-18. It stayed the same. It was a good game. I followed the head coach into the building. I waited outside the changing room because it was quite busy in there. I went on my phone and looked/ updated some of my social media's.

"Well done lads. At least you didn't lose." I said to the players that walked passed me into the changing room. Henry came out. "Well done." I said to him. "Well we could have been better but thanks for the support." He tells me. I give him a big hug and a quick peck on the lips. "I was thinking about going abroad to do that physio course." I tell him. "Do it. Better do it now than later." He says.
