Rugby Union

With a relaxing morning ahead breakfast was a relatively slow affair with nothing too pressing until mid morning and a very serious team meeting before today's fixture against a strong rugby playing school. Mr Holmes was well prepared today with a video projector and footage from the previous training sessions and more importantly all the game against Kasselsvei. The main points made about the previous match were not allowing the other team to dominate the way Norwich play and focus on their own game. Today would need team commitment, desire and complete single mindedness if they were going to win. The days training session was all about match preparation, lineout calls, lines that would be run and defensive patterns needed to win the match. As always our coach driver Deon was on time ready to take us to Wynberg Boys School arriving 1 hour and 15 minutes before kick off. In stark contrast to Kasselsvei School Wynberg School sits in the middle of a very wealthy and beautiful suburb of Cape Town with facilities to match the location, including a Bill Bowden sponsored pavilion. The boys went straight into their well rehearsed warm up routine, once changed a series of warm up routines were performed before the final team talk in their changing room. As always the team emerged as one and took to the field as a collective group ready to fight for one another until the job was done.
