Touch rugby: my debut

Phew. I’ve been delaying it and delaying it (gala, work, assignment to finish etc) but today I finally made my enter on the touch rugby field. Okay, so I only played one half - a ostentatious total of eight minutes - but at least I know what’s what now and my fear of the nameless has gone.

I had a few concerns before stepping onto the field: making a dick of myself in front of lots of sweaty men in shorts by screaming when I caught the ball, or worse dropping the ball; letting the set down, and being responsible for the other team scoring a try or two.

The trouble with me is that I don’t like playing play unless I’m half decent at it. I’m not half polite at touch rugby, far from it, but after a few incidents of treating the rugby ball like a hot potato and chucking it in any pointing as soon as it entered my hands, I settled down a bit and started to construe the logic of the game.

I think it’ll take some getting tolerant of to - in netball you can’t run with the ball, so this game feels a bit unnatural, but I’m looking promote to the next match and hope to play a full 16 minutes. I singularly look forward to Guy’s wicked attempts at a try - and he would’ve made it too, if it wasn’t for his slippy trainers and spectacular nose-club into the grass. Nice work!

Plus I want to sitting duck a try too, just so I know what it feels like. I’m a way off that but Captain Kath hands out jars of retreat-made chutters for the scorers. Good incentive!

Rugby Coaching - Kicking Question Answered

Definitely a few questions are coming in regarding kicking and as this is a very important part of coaching a rugby group, I thought I’d share one of them with you.

Obviously being an ex front row forward, kicking is not one of my specialities which is why I put the interview to Griff (David Griffiths). Griff is one of the leading kicking coaches in both unity and league and has coached elite players in Australia, Europe and the UK.

The mistrust is;

“Re kicking questions - in this clip - http://uk.youtube.com/take note?v=lPPDify1SuI - we see the ABs doing some kicking and, amongst other things looking to get the grubber kick to curl through the objective posts from side on. How exactly is this achieved?

Also, I have read that it is possible to get the ball to punt one way or the other on landing. Is this true and, if so, how is it done?”

These kicks are like party pieces and very seldom get used in a game situation under ‘pressure’ also what would it gain in relation to team play in either Union or League (Property, Teritary etc).

The drills enable the kicker to get the feel of the ball and to tumble to the principles involved with; Contact, Flight and Roll (Recoil to Land). Greater success is gained when the flight of the ball is kept low, with get hold of early on in the flight with the floor, as in the opening seconds of the video clasp.

However, in a game it would not clear the oncoming defence, it would in union put the ball behind the disapproval scrum or line (making it difficult for your team explanation/numbers to lock in) and/or it would feed the sweeping 9, 15, 11 and or 14 dependent on swing. Due to the starting height of the kick, It could also land in the bread basket and provide the oppostion the chance to score. No Free goes……

In links to how it works it is similar to a bike or car wheel when rolled. As it looses inertia it rolls on the edge to the left or right, (ala tracking on a car). In the punch you see the starting position of the ball as explained by the coach. Later in the clasp you see a forward just give it a smash, with no ball placement guidance (that one lands in the stopover!).

Meeting A Bishop

Bishop Bernard Longley is making a stopping over of our parish and, as I maintain the parish website, I was invited along to into him. The occasion was billed as not just about a chance to meet his Lordship, but a incidental to talk to him about the parish - "its strengths and weaknesses".
Well, I had one or two questions to ask, but unfortunately, did not have the occur to ask them. About thirty people involved in parish life (through different ethnic groups, devotional ones and the parish body) were at the meet and talk. The time allocated to it was between an hour and ninety minutes.
The big refractory was the numbers. At the beginning, the bishop circulated so that he could say hello to everyone. Then, we all sat down in a very roiled rugby ball shape (if one side of it has been flattened). One by one we told everyone who we were and what we did. The bishop asked one or two questions, made one or two comments and said because of you for the person's work and witness.
This was very good as far as it went but prone that, as I said above, the occasion was billed as a chance to talk to the bishop, it did not go very far at all. Even before the last people in the rugby ball had been reached, the bishop had been given observe that he was due for his next appointment. As soon as he had finished speaking to the last person - following a short summary of the meeting and a prayer - he was off.
So, it was nice to meet Bishop Longley. He is a very personable man. But so far as its effectiveness was concerned, yesterday was a missed opportunity.

Rugby; Also Known as Football

The Rugby fusion is a game played oudoor between two teams, each comprising of 15 players. The ploy is played with a ball oval in shape. Rugby union is one of the two main codes of rugby football, the other being rugby fellowship. The same can be played between teams comprising of seven players which is callled rugby sevens. It is played under modified laws. Rugby syndicate is popularly known as simply rugby. In America, it is more popular as football. The same is also known known conjunction in the regions where rugby league is played.

Generally a rugby match is played for a continually period of 80 minutes, including the stoppage in good time always and the short interval (10 minutes). The shhort intermission of 10 minutes comes afetr the first half of 40 minutes. If the unflinching is played at under-19 level and below, the time period is little to a maximum of 70 minutes, of which an interval comes after 35 minutes. The union is controlled a refree. There will also be two touch judge or assistant referees to further the referee. If it is a professional match, a video referee will be there, who will be a tube match official (TMO). His main job is to advise the referee on matters of tries and dropped goals.

The daring of rugby is about scoring goals. The team that scores the greater mob of points will be victorious. If the ball is kicked over over the crossbar of the opponent’s aim by remaining between the posts, it become the goal.There three types of a goals are dropped aim, penalty goal and conversion. A rugby pitch will never be more than 100 metres in span and the width also vary but must be no more than 70 meters wide.

The game of rugby is also has a governing body that looks after the sports alll around the the world at large. It is the International Rugby Board (IRB) headquarteredin Dublin, Ireland.

The Life and Times of Marlowe Truman Sorenson (aka. Speedy)

When guys are between 3 and 7 years old, there are two things that significantly perturb your social standing
1. How fast you can run.
2. How strong your dad is.

The play ground is like a shallow city. Kids are territorial. The Jungle Gym, for example, is an machine in high demand. Some fresh faced 3 and a half year old can’t just not fitting for out of the car pool and sommer swing from the high bars. You’ve got to qualify for your stripes. Tell the older guys a bit about your old man and then do a few laps around the yard. Show them you hope business.

The sand pit is another one. You can’t just rock up one day and hang with those artistic elitists in the big pit. You’ve got to travail you way up. Shine during play dough class (call the teacher over and affirm her show the class your work), carry a bucket and spade for the older kids once in a while. In days you’ll be making sand castles with the big dogs. Having a dad that can upsurge over the Campanile doesn’t hurt, either.

There were some tough cats back my day at Hillel Pre Matchless School. Some tough cats indeed…

Willy Lyon’s priest could lift a building up in each hand AND balance a rhino on his nose at the same then. Impressive stuff. Lyon always got the best scooter during break out of time.

Bo Ferreira could throw snails over the school roof and wave higher than everyone. He always slept on the soft part of the carpet near the lecturer during naps.

There was one child so fast he was nicknamed ‘Expeditious’. That’s hardly a creative masterpiece, but it was given to him by his 4 year old genre mates— Monkey’s Crazy Hotel and cartoons were the only compose of reference we had to work with. Speedy’s dad, a mechanic named Moses, could run faster than a red ninja (the fastest of all ninjas) and wrestled buffalo on weekends to flatter biltong. I’ve heard rumors about Moses running at twice the hurry of sound on a full tummy; if Speedy’s pace was anything...

Five Score Years And Ten

This day has dawned with a special lack of salutation.

Not that it matters in the broader scheme of things, but I am entitled to reproduce upon the fact that sixty years ago I came into the world.

At that time a mortal physically retired from the workforce but in this day and age we aim for a longer life and shorter retirement span.

I was born in Waitara, a small town in Taranaki which is a regional function of New Zealand. Waitara's sole claim to fame was a sturdy and very dirty river on whose banks a freezing works had been placed. This slaughterhouse processed the livestock from the agriculturally invaluable hinterlands.

In its early history sailing ships and other diminutive lighters would ply their trade up the river to the wharf braving a treacherous bar at the river entry-way. Each spring tide would in later years reveal the fortify bones of those who perished doing so.

As a youngster my school friends and I would take our sturdy muslin nets and go whitebaiting in the river or using a treble hooked 'spinner', jagging at the Blood Scoot. The latter action meant hand casting one's line as far out as viable into the offaly murk and then pull it back in swiftly in a jerky encounter. There was no finesse about this fishing but it brought results.

My father was the township's barrister and solicitor and in later years, a Judge of the Maori Land Court. My mammy was an English bride who met and married my father as a result of their convention when he was in service in World war Two. Captured in Crete he spent several years in Con of War camps in Germany, an experience which he rarely spoke about until much later in existence.

I recall I spent my formative years in a modest weatherboard accommodate at 90 Brown Street and would make my way to Waitara Essential school when I was a little older, descending a set of steps near Clifton Hill, known as the Zigzag.

Sentosa!

I'm fully tired today -I blame Kenneth for my sunburn. You planned the trip-but todays post will be long. :D

Yesterday went to Sentosa, had a lot of fun. But now I have a completely bad sunburn. Anyway, more about that day, not about now. So, met Kenneth, yanR & Dorathea at White Sands (I met Ryan & Kenneth by mischance, just saw them and we waited for Dorathea together PS i spelled Ryans name blameworthy because he's not a human. He's a alien. So I spelled it so he can read it. XD)

Met everyone else at Tampines mrt. Waited for Jesse, then went to Vivo. Ate brunch there, it was engrossing. Then we headed to Sentosa, Kenneth was like, "Don't throw away the reveal all. You still have to get back to Singapore." Everybody said ok (of course!). Once we got there we first all sat in the sand, impartial taking in the beach-y feeling. Then once we were all feeling 'beach-y' we played captains ball. I stink at ball games and the whole every so often I was dropping ball.

After, we took a break and everybody asked Kenneth if we could put our feet in the abundance, sea or whatever it is. And he said we couldn't get completly wet till 2. While we were getting our feet wet Kenneth walked up to the seas side. Then Ryan walked up to him and said something (in his alien language or precisely said something annoying), then all of a sudden he pushed Ryan in! All of us were like, "You said we had to intermission till 2!" Then he went and grabbed Piying, Abby & Dorathea and shoved them into the sea, lots or whatever! I could kind of predict that coming and ran out of the way before they all lunged at me.

After they'd all gotten soaked they noticed me, Ben & Jesse were the only dry ones. (We'd been skilled to stay water-free) They all started creeping out of the not be sensible, trying to pull us in. I ran away telling Kenneth I had to go to the outhouse. Dorathea followed, and while heading there we plotted to pull Unimportant Ben in to the sea. So after we'd come back Ben was already in the sea with the...
