[QUOTE="Tricia McMillan, post: 477314, member: 51138"] First club fixture was Saturday. Well, first was last week, but the other club didn't have a women's team (our league organizes matches on a club vs. club basis and all the different teams play consecutively). Anyway, while I didn't play because I'm still recovering from my rib and knee injuries, our club won both matches, 33-10 for men and 36-12 for women. After watching international rugby most of my life, and no offense to my teammates, the women's match was comically sloppy. As a result, something like 70% of plays by both sides were a pick and go out of a breakdown with 9+ players committed to it, and passes were only attempted to send it out wide with a numbers advantage (half of which were knocked on or turned over). Oh, and there was hardly any kicking game, one of the men's players for our team had some nice bombs and chips but that's all I saw. In the meantime, my team captain has told me that when I return, she wants me to play at 12 and be the team's goal kicker (after seeing what I can do off the tee in practices). [/QUOTE]
