A great weekend of rugby and definitely a step up in the games - the seconds had a fantastic first win of the season and had 3 tries up by half time. The runs from the back 5 forwards were fantastic - Stu Fenton, Marty and Marcel having great line breaking runs. The bridging and commitment at the break down was what created the excellent recycled ball and the continuity of the game - thus resulting in pressure and therefore tries. Well done guys.
The firsts played wahat was and will be the toughest game this season against a very talented, fast and fit Army team. I know that I learnt a lot playing them and I hope that everyone that was on or watching learnt how a well drilled and trained team can play. There were some great positives with Junrey’s tackle on the right wing (who was selected to play with the Australian U20’s Development Squad only last month) was something to behold while Gump continued to take on the Army’s Captain (prop) in one on one duels (Gump was selected as the Army’s best player on the park).
Guys it was a great weekend of rugby, tough for some but it should have been rewarding for all who took the field.
