[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 744144, member: 53057"] Small thing about the supporting the play don't know if you've been told it before but you shouldn't be trying to get to every ruck. Every second one is ideal. I presume your team also at least has the basic calls of whether the ball is going to the backs or the forwards? If they do listen to them, if it's forwards ball the next ruck will be near the last one and if it's backs ball it'll likely be a lot further away. If you can start anticipating the play your lack of fitness won't be as noticeable. Most importantly try and keep a positive mindset. Don't think crap I made another mistake, think ok I could have done better there and I will next time. As a 17st prop myself I know what it's like to not have the fitness of essentially every other player but if your smart it can have minimal impact for most of the game. EDIT: Regards scrummaging what side are you playing? I'm going to guess tighthead based on what you were penalised for. Essentially you just need to at least have the appearance of keeping your shoulders level and only come down when actually engaged. [/QUOTE]
