@Point1_Athletic @irishscnetwork @carver_coaching @JTGreyMattersUK @a_whitehead1 @PaddyTally @RugbyRhys9 We often wasted some of @RugbyRhys9 90secs by commenting on his footwear: often a sliders & grippy socks combo.
Having a good attitude even when you're not getting your way ...when circumstances might stink ... or when you're experiencing setbacks put your real character on display for all to see.
Excellent little activity for: -Tension through the feet into the ground, -Posture, -Clamp strength -Staying square.
We go again! With the 1st XV on a mighty unbeaten streak, we head over to @buzzardrugby in the hope of extending successful run by another game. Meanwhile the 2nd XV are looking to bounce back from a narrow defeat last week, they host @OldStreetRugby #rugby #londonrugby
👏 @SaintsRugby Another one. Big future. Delighted he took the opportunity to show the @londonirish supporters & the league what he was about for the final two months of the season.
