comfortable

wednesday 5 march: fijian touch warm up then mutaks started us on ball handling, lots of it. he counted each dropped ball then made us do situps, pressups, starjumps for them. thank goodness he forgot about bupees! after that he split us into teams and had us working on attack and defence. that went pretty much ok. still some things to be ironed out but we’ll get there. ball work done, we moved to leg work. shuttle sprints between the try line and 5 – this time for 3 minutes with no break. we all pretty much did it comfortably. tunisia looms near and mutaks says soon we’ll be doing less fitness and ballwork and more game plan. we can’t be runners up this time round.
