Long day in Fort Worth. It is not your fault that the tourney was over booked and you played at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 7:40 p.m. In a nutshell, you were fine once you woke up against the Reds. Scrums need to get tighter to handle the bigger packs but for the most part you were fitter and you opened it up with your phase play.
Against Baytonio (San Antonio and Bay Area together) you had your best run. The fitness and phase play was key. Rashad and Skylar had some nice long runs. Scrums and line outs were solid.
Vs. UT Alumni you let the ref beat you. UT Alumni were salty and adapted to the same bad ref to win the match. Hats off to them. However, you could have done the same things. I need you to think about how to fix problems like that in a game. They killed your ball and prevented your phase play. You got it going twice and got two try's off of it. It was there all day if you would have adjusted. It is hard playing against 16 though.
Fitness and Lineouts are my biggest concerns at the moment. You are still better than most in both catergories but it needs to get better. |
