welcome to harris field belmont high school division one varsity rugby game and belmont high school hosting the brookline warriors and season started last week for both teams belmont  following their first game to lincoln sudbury i think it was real physical game between those teams david a lot of these teams haven't been outside because the snow and stuff so i think last week was get a lot of kinks out binges see with with a couple weeks about the teams for you know respond and and so when i got seen in here for the last couple of years yeah they are they were sort of a powerhouse team in the eighty's when they were founded and older public high school team and they played some division one played some division two the last couple years had some coaching changes and some transition but now that rugby has picked up as of r c sport they've picked it up as varsity and are in the division one bracket just great to see them out and have been around it's nice to a club with this history here and i think they're big physical side big pac i think they have some skill back players to be really good contest when we should add and give a shout out to our sponsors today medium said media their blue and white stripes off we go nice deep kick off by marvin zones extended a little wider on either side and so to be a brookline lineout on the five meter some pressure from belmont to a kind of exit strategy brooklyn has another good turn over the sense that defensive pressure and what we see is the defense just shooting up and putting the media pressure on on brick line and it causes a mistake turned over a knock on and now we have another  other good secondary shot by belmont that's really good pressure game since he was a freshman he's a junior now has really grown in the game is going to camp says his play with select site seems really risen his rugby i q and that's a great example of robbie i q he knew could take a quick tap the referee was offering the penalty mark a quick tap taken one on one go as as we start to work you kick for a three point attempt to lie ball here so it doesn't go over stays in also a lot of good short we've seen over three penalty o new laws world rugby david are really really careful about the high tackling for player welfare or really anything above the shoulders now referees are being told to cause a penalty and if it's malicious it's a it's an immediate yellow card pressure again belmont how cohesively now doesn't happen overnight so things haven't quite clicked in every phase but but there tighter in the scrums they're a little more aggressive in the breakdown in the running with a little more purpose there she couldn't convert that so we're at well that's a great run by the  a very good take by the brooklyn the first eighteen minutes the last i guess they clear the lines  know as i mentioned this week look a lot better last week they're really loose their bearings are really listen and when you have eight individuals doing this this sort of bizarre motion to a non rugby viewer that you have to be tight you know they're and i think this might be as first his first start when he took that very well diddy and what what you know what we saw at that trial was the support i want always having two to three players supporting the breakdown which means they were able to get the mention what he did as he stayed out in the backs and what that created was a mismatch so now you have a forward a bigger bulkier player playing up against backs you tend to be a little leaner a little fas they'll look to start to set the ball wider now they've gone you haven't seen until we have a no they've gone inside inside inside which is used to defend you see if maybe they they test the wide channels four minutes left in the first half this is good momentum for them to take in the half time so maybe they can build on seed pressure leads to turnovers turner is going to point welcome back second have just kicked off twenty two brookline seven when a quick turnover great attacking position maybe keep it tight here keep it on the forward foot forwards do some work good throw good line out here c drive as soon as those late get get moving from the attacking position as it has gone much like remove it's really hard to stop those malls and damn i probably could've walked another five yards and let's tighten up some of the tactical things that we want to work on our rush to fans are counting rocking some the things that they're working on our kids need to do those little things and really it's the little things that matter you know that the past that goes the hand the ca pass the one on tackle hitting the rock and those little things at this level are the difference and yes it's marginal differences at this level i think brookline is not as connected they're not playing as cohesive or a unit going through the gate legally pick the ball up and that's been the position it's a really a technical skill to be able to do that games happen and maybe a successful poach two or three times and that's a good day to see b hookers and their jobs to help the ball back on either side you have the props to prop them up you have a second row the taller players are sort of the engine fighters on either side act a sort of the flank defense an attack and then you have your number and these guys who are in the back interesting he going to the world conan could kick is a good chance for belmont to really put huge distance between him and brooklyn they're up twenty nine seven ten minutes in the second half walk away with and and really if you think that that try in in a lot of ways was set up by flash drive because and in that this corner i had a line out they wanted me to leave the fords and drove yeah so you have to thank brookline in a sense was thinking watch the drive again so everyone's thirty six points to seven thirty six point seven w axis key players were finishing up their careers here but i saw four and freshman class are talented and there's quite a few of keen kids kids are really into the game and getting really involved kids like who who played here in high school have gone on to play it at the college level and some playing of the adult level still exciting for us as coaches we spread the gospel of rugby and and now these kids are  front of the twenty five for brooklyn i went directly out so now it's belmont line out where are the brooklyn kicker kicked me but again it's just it's just a coach killer now these are the little things for brooklyn that are clicking and now down has a scrape attacking platform on their own thirty and you know and in what marvin there she has done well this game is he's really run hard and straight and last week he was a little drifting has picked a really good hard lines run and i just made a difference i think so i think so i mean much more cohesive as a unit much more secure in the breakdown set pieces are very clean so you claim to have confidence in early trial do that the great tape right and a great line break but what was there to support yeah was chewed up what forty yards camels right there for support and then  first fifteen debut scores a try because of the support because there is that connectivity amongst the players for belmont right now and they're just they know where each other are they're staying and pies no one's going isolated it's a really nice thing  that was an excellent try try that's a great game i bring to watch it isn't so unfortunately a when they do it where they do it and and it's just way more successful and it's nice to say it's good to see that's that's good it's kind of rugby you want to play you want to play a little lose but not to lose and then i think you're talking good for brooklyn they're trying to still work their game of trying to get it out wide trying to get in the hands of these play makers and a lot more space to play the play a bit too flat line outs you had a couple great runs play solid defense was there and supports what you need to hooker to do smart rugby as pat cleary made the break he was isolated he was isolated so he put on the brakes cut back infield found his support got reconnected to passes back into space and that's it but it's this idea of connection connectivity if you're not connected if you don't know where your teammates are that's dangerous and if you're isolated that's bad and and pat recognized that quickly i was able to find something or him self to as many people up there and support sudbury i believe the girls have a game tomorrow and then of course the torch relay will have two games in showing next week and then they come back i think they get back on on the sunday sunday the twenty third and and then so so for belmont this is great for free spring break building block they can they can look at this game and say this is how we want to play this is the kind of team we want to be take this to torre had a really good bonding experience on tour bring him back to sort of been through those last couple weeks and season definitely are looking at it might be
