We have to get the scrums and line outs spruced up.  Your line outs were better this week but they need to be a lot better to make things go.  You took as many against the head as you lost this weak but that is not acceptable.  To my notion, a scrum has to be steady and ours were not.  There was not a platform to run off of or launch the backs from.  We have got to be dedicated to the basics better.

 

You rucked well for the first time this year.  I know, you looked good against Tech but they were not contesting much.  The men's teams will since they fitness level and overall agro will lead to it.  You produced better ball this weak in the second half than you have in a while.  We hit the rucks in pairs.  No the focus has to be hitting it in pairs 2 steps sooner.  The quicker you secure the ball the less chance they can blow it back on you.  Timmy will move it or we will pick it.  Get there, clean it up, move it.  Real simple.  Just keep focusing on it, okay?

 

We were not focused to start the match.  Captain, team leaders, let's get the word out that we need to get there on time and be ready to go.  I don't need to tell you to stretch and such.  We do the same things before every match and you can get them going on your own.  We have to be ready and focused.  You played 30 minutes of good rugby this weekend.  Just think if you would have done it for 80!
