But it won't help unless we have a change of attitude. I do not want to hear people telling me that they rucked well on 2 or 3 occasions, because that means they didn't on 50 other occasions. And I don't think anyone, with the exception of Mary, can say they rucked well in that game. Yes you got tired, but that is going to happen of the first 3 or 4 players don't hit the rucks low and hard, because rucking is tiring unless you do it technically well. If you are in every maul, because no-one tackles to the ground, then you will get drained of energy very quickly.
Minimal energy is expended in a quick low drive.
Fighting to stop yourself going backwards is exhausting. We are now left in the situation of having to win on Wednesday. There must be a huge improvement in the second phase or we will not win. It may be necessary to make further changes to the starting team to achieve what we need, and if you want to play a role, think very hard about what you did on Sunday, and come prepared to practice hard. If we have seen the best that Vassar has to offer, we know we can beat them - we've beaten better teams in the last year.
