31-5

rant: i am tired of responsibility. burnt out

actually, i'm just sick of looking for referees

it consumes my time and emotions - and it's getting increasingly difficult to find one

damn it!

i don't want our coach to have to ref us. again.

.

in other news, we won 31-5 last week in kent. but it was brutal, painful and defensive. when your forwards keep getting driven backwards in most scrums, it makes your job as a back pretty difficult. definitely one of the most frustrating games i have ever played. i think i've never made so many tackles before in any other match - at one point i made 4 consecutive tackles on 4 consecutive opposition attack phases. not only did i lacerate the back of a ear (it got squashed between my head and the ground. you get the picture), my fitness couldn't hold up and i was subbed off in the middle of the 2nd half

also, i woke up on thursday morning and realised that not only was i not able to raise my arms beyond shoulder level (muscle ache - OUCH), but my upper-body muscle mass had increased by 50% overnight. i blame it on sheer tackling

this week we're playing an agricultural college who are said to be not very nice opponents, and we are playing at home so i need to make sure we get a proper ref - argh argh argh
