Rugby Mad

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

The flanker who binds onto the scrum on whichever side is closest to a touchline.Primarily concerned with winning the ball in loose play and supporting the jumpers in the lineout.Prides himself on his ability to execute the sort of tackles that make spectators wince. Finally, one of my favourite positions. I would get into this crazy mindset of just tackling and chasing my opponents when I'm playing this. The best part, this position is usually feared by opponents due to the type of tackles made by me.

I just got back from sports camp. It was good to see the rugby guys. I didn't realize how much I missed them. The activities were quite boring consisting of mostly lectures and doing practical work based on the lectures. But nothing's boring when the rugby guys are around. Lectures were filled with Bingo games and Hangman games. The meals were not that great. Every meal was variations of chicken ,vegetables and rice. Nights were spent smoking, playing cards, telling ghost stories and watching High School Musical. The scariest part was meeting the security guard with his dog. They would come up to you very quietly so by the time you saw them, they would be only a few metres away. It's quite a scary sight seeing them in the dark. Being the big and strong guys we are, we ran away.

The finale was the tree top walk at McRitchie Resevoir. It was suppose to be a competition but at least half of the groups got lost. The interesting part was all of them got someone who had served NS before. We blamed it on the non-standard maps. In the end, despite the boring activities, it was still a great camp for me.

I think I did something very stupid last week. I didn't know you can still send messages to someone who is offline in MSN Messenger. So yeah yeah yeah.
