Wanderers U23 Rugby Match
I just woke up. My whole body's hurting and aching from neck down, and especially my neck's feeling like it's gonna break. Then i remembered that i forgot to blog about the match yesterday. It was pretty good =) Even though it says U23, our team mainly consist of RI and RJC rugby guys, so we're more of a U18 team, while the other team are full of big ang moh dudes. Surprisingly, the ang moh dudes are just big, but they're not fast at all. So we totally overwhelmed them in terms of speed. But we still lost in the end coz all the big forwards of the opposition simply kept breaking through the middle, gaining 5 to 10m at a time, and we couldnt really stop them, so eventually they scored tries slowly but steadily, so we lost by about 2-3 tries in the end.
Personally i played quite well, scored one try somewhere halfway through the first half, after getting pass my opposite winger, their out center and full back. It was quite a nice try =) so i guess this is good start for my comeback into rugby, and i'll definitely get much better when next year comes. What was bad yesterday was my tackling, it's still weak, i tackled the big ang moh winger, and i almost had a concussion after landing head first. Even though i managed to bring him down as well, it was a really sucky tackle, that's why my neck's hurting =/ Also i need to work on my timing of runs, yesterday totally missed two other scoring oppurtunities because i overran the ball. all these comes with training, and i havent been training, but will be after eoys. Lastly my fitness sucks, cant last in a 40 per half rugby game, played about 60 mins and i was dying already, got to work on that too.
My resolve for rugby was set yesterday, that i will stay focused in every game, never back down no matter the opposition, never show that i am tired even if i am about to collapse, and play my best game of rugby every time i touch that ball.
I may have made a mistake somewhere last year and this year, but i wont make the same mistake twice next year.
AND i need to STUDY. This will be the last time i blog unless something really really important pops up. So see everyone in about 3 weeks time!
Countdown to eoy: 12 days
Countdown to end of eoy: 22 days
