You know, the more I think about today's game the more pissed off I get because of all the stupid mistakes we made that allowed Huntsville to score. We totally dominated this game. We probably had 75% of the possession and yet were losing by 14/15 points at half-time. They had about 4 penalty goals that all came from mistakes we just should not have made. Standing at the side of a ruck! That's offside! Back foot guys, we know this.
On a positive note we were stringing together some fantastic phase play. I counted about 15 phases at one point. We still need to work on our presentation at the rucks and mauls, but for the most part it was pretty good. Finishing too needs work. The first 20 minutes we were camped in their 22 and couldn't put on any points. We will work on all of this at practice this week.
In the context of where we were last season (including losing to these guys 60-0) this game was a huge step up. Huntsville were rotating players in and out all game long (and still had 3 game ending injuries), we made 3 subs with 15 minutes to go. It was a huge effort by all of you. Too huge to go unrewarded. That's why we will work on the weaknesses and make sure that next week, Sewanee gets the full force of NOOGA RUGBY!!!

I should also mention the man of the match awards. Well done to Forward of the match Justin and back of the match Ethan, with M-o-t-M going to Justin. Also, the forward of the match award was a close run thing between Justin and Jeff Z. I believe this was only Jeff's 2nd game ever, and it was a great performance. So well done to all 3 of you.
Practice, Tuesday starts at 6:30pm. See you there.

Word From Coach

This Saturday (September 6th) we will be scrimmaging. We will meet at the Rossville field at 12pm and be kicking off at 1pm. The purpose of this scrimmage is to get our first team running together before our first game the following Saturday at home against the Atlanta Bucks. We need everyone there to assist. I want this to be a full on scrimmage, so even if you don't plan on playing full time this season, you can help by being there to provide opposition. Everyone who plans on playing A-side must be there. Also, EVERY potential A-side player must be CIPPed AND dues paid (or arrangements made with either Wayne or Jack).
This needs to be a full on scrimmage. A week after the Bucks we have Huntsville who are now in our Matrix league. Please come out and support either vocally or as opposition.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Jared.
