We're Just About Ready to Play

Another great practice last night, with the weather cool and the ground soft.

So, with last night's practice, we have trained in all of the basics of rugby. We know the basics of passing, with the loop, switch, skip and dummy, and we know the basic calls for running lines. We know the basics of the scrum, ruck, maul and lineout, and we're familiar with kickoffs, penalty plays and 22m dropouts. So now it's time to put it all to the test with some real competition.

I'm looking forward to Saturday, as our kids will get to play a lot of rugby and finally put into real practice the things we've been doing at training. I think many of them will see that real competition poses unique challenges.

Thank you to all of our volunteers to get our social together for Saturday. Let's play some rugby and have some fun.
