Rugby

I was dreading rugby training last night as I had heard on the grapevine that we were going to be doing the 'coffin'.

This involves sprinting and jogging over 4km around a rugby pitch. It operates on a pyramid system so the hardest part is doing 2 x 80 metre sprints, 4 x 100 metre sprints and then 2 x 80 metre sprints.

I was dreading it as I found it pretty hard going when we did it a few weeks ago but last night it was much easier. I reckon I shaved off around three minutes from my previous time.

After that we played touch rugby and it looked like the Head Coach was up to his old tricks by not including me with the so-called 'Senior Squad'. They played on the lower half of the pitch while I was left with the misfits on the upper half.

The Head Coach doesn't realise that if this discrimination continues to occur then some of his sycophantic brown-nosers are going to get seriously injured when I resort to such tactics as to get my rightful place back in the 1st team.

Full contact starts next week so let the fun and games begin!
