rugby qualifier

i am surprised (and saddened) to report that we went 0-3 on the day.

our first match against san anotonio was very winnable. we lost 22-12. we gave up 3 quick tries in first half and left many opportunities on the table.

our second match against the kansas city blues was also disappointing. we played aggressive ball and got within 1 score in the 2nd half but ended up losing by 2 tries.

in the final match we played some guys who hadn't had many minutes and we lost. we didnt have much ball and we had a few bad lapses down the blind side. on one i was wheeled away from the blind side move. on the other i slid down the ball carriers leg and came away with his shoe AND sock but he kicked free and ran the last 50 meters for a score with one bare foot.

anyway, the day was disappointing but we showed flashes. we need to do a better job of taking care of the ball and being aggressive when we have 1-1 opportunities.
