friday 14 march: i warmed up early then practiced my drop kicks as the rest of the team warmed up with fijian touch. warm up done mutaks asked the forwards to go with veteran 7’s player, soggy, while he dealt with the backs. we worked on passing, realigning, understanding each other etc. for some reason we kept dropping the ball and mutaks for once actually looked annoyed. we did so many pressups as punishment.
word from the forwards was that soggy worked them to exhaustion: endless scrum downs versus each other with punishments (lots of running) dished out for the trio that did not get a good push going. from there it was scrummaging versus the scrum machine with soggy on it! if he did not feel the hit then the guilty trio was punished, that is, lots more running. tired of running the forwards opted for bigger hits and it soon became too easy for the girls so soggy added christine onto the machine to give them a lot more of a challenge. soon guys who had come to the club to enjoy a friday swallow had gathered near the touchline where the forwards were ploughing away and at first stared in open mouthed amazement as the girls did their thing then starting cheering them on for every hit.

at the end of the session mutaks informed us that the team travelling to tunisia would be selected the following day (saturday) after training. the session would be from 1pm to 3pm.
we went down for our usual: we’d clocked 50 pressups and sit-ups and the bridge still at 60. this time we did 25 pressups, then 25 sit-ups, back to pressups, then sit-ups then the bridge. it was tight going. alia gave us the first count for pressups and when she reached 18 she stuck on 18 until we almost ate her alive. yogi (in photo) took over the counting. we went through all our pressups and sit-ups then finished up with the bridge.
doc ambrose tended to girls with complaints. christine had a back injury and he took her through some exercises to assess how much pain she felt, where she felt pain and when. when she had gone through the first one she announced, “i’m not feeling so much pain but my thighs seem to be too heavy for me. it seems they are unfit.” !!!???!!!
