[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 28019"] One of my best games this season ,before having to end it early due to injury, also happened to coincide with the coldest I think I've ever been on a rugby pitch. Old Northamptonians U17s (my team) vs Towcester U17s (the big game [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] ) It was December, freezing cold and wet, away to a team who were expecting to beat us comfortably. Not the most inviting prospect ever. Add to this the fact that their pitch is like a bog, and feels like it contains small stones, and you'll forgive me for not initially being too keen. I found myself playing 13, lining up opposite a lanky ******* with a bit of a reputation preceding him. Luckily it was one of those days where everything goes right. First time I got the ball, ran at the gap on his outside shoulder, gave him a big hand off and burst through, only just stopped while trying to swerve inside the fullback. The first time he got the ball, I managed to drag him down straight away, and we turned the ball over. Then the next pass that came his way I timed perfectly to intercept and take us onto the attacking foot. We scored a couple of good tries in awful conditions, and then midway through the second half I ghosted through a gap, gave a couple of dummys, and just managed to outsprint the cover to slide over the line. We won in the end, outscoring them 4 tries to 1, and due to the fact that no one could move their hands it was the most welcome shower ever at the end. [/QUOTE]
