Nasties Rugby

Most suprising was the appearance of one of our future opponents from the Oakhill club, Mike claimed he was there coaching one of the Newport Junior teams, but we all knew the truth... The word is out on the nasties.

Sadly it is my duty to inform all nasties that there was an unsavoury moment at training tonight, our truly dynamic centre "Boyo" was the victim of a high shot from our loose cannon Trent. The talk amongst the team was that Trent was miffed at the warrior dumping him on his backside and the follow up report on this site. The hit drew blood, from a backs perspective this is simply wrong, backs are in a team to bring glamour and props such as the agressor Trent are there to make the backs look good.

Whilst there are moments of tragedy in the team enviroment such as the one highlighted above, there are quite often moments of genuine humour.

Mike Sergeant has been absent for a couple of weeks apparently he is wrestling cattle on his small holding somewhere. Mike, for the players who haven't been privy to his qualities is possibly one of the nasties less co-ordinated players. Not to be outdone Justin Burgess has really stepped up to the plate to provide real competition to Mike.

A hooker

I will leave the final comment to our hooker Simon (pictured), Simon at the end of a set play was overheard to say "I love forwards, forwards are my life, but when the coach said tonight that my technique on the tackle bag was fantastic I felt like hugging him, I love the coach". Once again, this back can only deduce that forwards are a breed apart.
