Bognor Success!!

Well done to all those who played at Bognor yesterday!!

We had a couple of games against a Bognor team who never worried us at any time. Both games were won 7-0 - the first time we have ever played against any opposition without conceeding a single try.

We mixed the teams considerably, giving some the opportunity to play in different positions. What impressed us yesterday is how this seemed to improve the level of team-play throughout both games.

A couple of areas we have been concentrating hard on in recent training sessions also seem to also be more visible in games now - these are driving over loose balls, and positional play, although there is still some way to go in both!! A number of times we saw players running towards a loose ball to pick it up and hesitating in doing so remembering that they ought to be driving over instead!!

There is still too much running with the ball at times, and not enough use of passing and the spaces that can open up as a result. We now need to be building upon the rucking and mauling training of the last few weeks and looking at creating more space through frequent and accurate passing.

We will also be picking up on set peice play - as at times there is quite a lot of confusion at line outs and scrums!!

Well done again for a great day yesterday!
