Gentlemen

 

Stretch those hamstrings.  Start the sprint work.  Begin thinking that every 50:50 ball will be yours.  Book the pacemaker check.  Alumni is starting to call.  How will you answer?

 

World cup inspiration has opened up new game plan possibilities - step overs, throwing yourself onto the ground with minimal contact (nothing new there for me) and the odd stamp here and there could prove successful.  I am certain that the veteran elite will re-ignite and shine like a rejuvenated Zidane - an inverse Sampson effect if you like.

 

All I am asking is for your awareness - and perhaps a tinge of excitement.  The sevens was brilliant fun - but this could be so much sweeter.  Oh yes.

Nottingham Moderns RUFC Ground

Time to be confirmed

 

Post Match Celebrations to be held in the Comfort Inn (Quality George Hotel) in time honoured tradition

 

They have started to cook the chicken so it might be ready in time.

 

1)  Get to the gym

2)  Get very excited

3)  Pencil it in on your Grand Slam 2005 Calendars

4)  Stop for one minute.  Remember the faces in the dressing room before you took to the field to play for the Nottingham Medics RUFC

5)  Don't even try to suppress the smile

 

We need to claim back what is rightfully ours.

 

Its going to be special.  COME ON!

 

Yours in rugby,
