   DONALD TRUMP IS A SMALL HANDED ORANGE IDIOT. JUST IN CASE HE READS THIS, NAZIS = BAD, GIVING REFUGE TO IMMIGRANTS = GOOD.

Our old way of thinking started to rear it's slightly ugly head at the start of the game. A bit of a panic about numbers started to creep in and concern, bordering on paranoia about Burnside Div3 players running out for the Blackadders. These are minor distractions that can be put aside until the after match beersies and training next week. I do put my hand up for making the coach aware of the situation, but we calmed down soon enough to focus on the matters at hand. Such as not giving up the Challenge Shield.
As I said to Chief after the game, if we start to focus on individual players in individual positions, then we lose sight of the fact that we're a team with depth and cunning and guile and the ability to fill any position with any player. Maybe not as well as some players are typically in some positions, but fill them we can and will.  Read more

There was talk, as there always is about a new team, right from the start of the season about what sort of game we'd have against the Heroes. There were theories from the less enlightened that took their cue from their grandparents generation of how rugby should be played to theories that normal regular people have about rugby and sport and life in general. All of them postulated that we'd absolutely demolish the Heroes on the scoreboard, and no one was wrong on that. However, don't let the final score fool you. They are good opponents with a lot to learn, but they never held back in their tackles or attacking runs.
Exactly what you'd expect to see from rugby players eager to learn and grow.  Read more

I've been proved right. Again. We're a team that despite not having so called "essential" players available on the day, we still have the depth and the skill set to have others fill those positions and to fill those positions well and with skill. While having players who are attuned to the minutia of a set position is a good thing, oftentimes the opposition can be outwitted by a player who does the unexpected because he's not quite in tune with what he's "supposed" to do in that position. We showed that in the front row and in the backline and it was good to watch.  Read more  



   WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH A DRUNKEN JOHNNO? GET HIM A WHEELCHAIR WOULD BE A GOOD START.

Don't be fooled by the score. We had the shits all over Belfast from the word go. Except for the couple of times they ran in 70 metre tries because backs can't tackle. Which is the easy version. The real version is much more complicated as always.
Momentary handling errors plus missed zigs (instead of zags) plus mind boggling rule interpretations from the ref plus those lucky breaks some teams just happen to get were what really occurred. We should have won, but didn't. One of those Saturdays when everything and everyone seems to be going right, or at least, in your favour, but quickly slips away out of your control.  Read more
