RUGBY

MY RUGBY STAR

So here I am at a Rugby 7s tournament. Knowing absolutley nothing and having to support and encourage a son who has found his gift in sport. Like a duck to water he moved swiftly onto the field and no-one or nothing was getting in his way to make tries (is that the right word??). Well i enjoyed it. Met some really nice people, and watch Josh score, score and the team congratulating each other, and yes although I thought hmmm, not much thought goes into this game, I soon learnt that spin passing is actually difficult, and that tatics tactics tactics and very important, so although not much kicking, certainly not just a catch and run game. You really need to have your wits about you, cause if you dont, pain and agony follow fast.

Just when I thought i know the Rugby, they tell me the next tournament in 2 weeks is Rugby with 15 a side, Maddy I think I'm gunna need some tips on that from you fans. At least Ill be ready to watch the Dubai Rugby 7s. Its great to pick up new sports and news ways to live, it keeps you on your feet and makes life very interesting. No-one could believe that Josh had never played let alone never watched a game before. Very technical though and he picked up quick. Im a proud mum with a very happy and content son, yipppeeee.
