Afternoon! Ourseason was finished early because of the coronavirus and as such, I've decided to start focusing on next season. It will be my first in senior rugby and I'm changing location which means that I'm changing teams and my goal is to try and make the first team. A few of the players were chosen to play representative rugby last year and that's also something I'd love to do. I'm typically a 10 but I've also played a lot of rugby at 12 at school and with the club as well, I've swapped between both roles really. Training starts in July (if the coronavirus allows it to) and I was just wondering what tips and advice you guys might have so that I can impress the coaches.
Skill wise I'd say my passing and kicking are my strengths but I'm not overly fast. One of my main strengths has always been my talk and organisation skills, I like to be loud and try and give the team clarity and direction. However, I don't want to turn up to a new club and just start bossing everyone about on the field when there are experienced players who've been there a while. How would you guys recommend I approach that aspect of my game, especially as a 10? For those who play, what do you want from your 10 that would have you say he's a good player to play with?
Thanks all.
