dammit... lost the stupid SP match... a match that i seriously thought that we had a fighting chance to win....

we fell to two kinda early tries in the first period.... and the rest of the period was spent defending...

the second period was by far our best... the whole period was played in their half.... and we had many 22 metre raids... but the try came from a scrum.... down the shortside, the blindside, whatever you chose to call it... i just love it.... used our 8-9-15 move... but in the end we didn't need the 15.... i tapped boon's butt, his signal to pick the ball and pop it to me.... and that is exactly what he did.... i recieved the ball and made my run... the standoff, full-back and blindside winger were already expecting a blind move and they all had drifted over to cover... but there was just too much space for me... i fended off the tackles from the standoff and the full-back and spun out of the winger's last ditch tackle.... and yes... i finally scored my first try for the team in an official match, not in a training situation.... really a highlight of my "career" and i really thank God for the sight to call the move and the presence of mind to get the ball past the line... after that try, the problems started... soon after the kickoff, fawwaz dislocated his finger.... man... gross... so he had to be taken to the hospital.... after that all the positions were jumbled around....

the start of the third period saw us equalising through dominic.... this guy that peerose brought down.... again... from a scrum.... he took the ball and drove it over the line with the help of alfian butting him on.... after that... i guess it got bad... partially my fault... since fawwaz had to be taken off, jamal put me into the standoff position.... and i didn't really perform in the position... i just don't really know how to operate in the situation.... but i wasn't getting any good service frm the scrumhalf... wad was i supposed to do... it is looking at the game frm a different angle frm my usual half-back role.... we went downhill from there... let in four tries... final score 6-2....

three periods, three different positions... out-centre in the first, scrumhalf in the second and standoff in the third... of the three, my favourite is being scrumhalf.... i just function normally in the role.... i don't have to think... i know what to do.... in all the other positions that i have played in, fullback, winger, out-centre and standoff... i just feel very gabra.... like dunnoe wad to do... not comfortable... not in my element... hey... i just noticed... i only have to play in-centre before i can say that i have played every position in the backline... haha... not that i wanna play in-centre... i'm just not cut out to be a centre....

got a few knocks for all the stuff that i did today... my nose got hit in the first period and my nose started bleeding.... not that serious lar... i just played on... blood on my jersey... cool huh... haha... then now i have a slightly sprained right shoulder that i can't lift up and something wrong with my left hip... can't rotate my left leg normally... but i don't care... i don't give a rat's buttocks... this is for the game that i love... for college and for my team...

somehow the loss today wasn't that bad cuz we managed to "crack the egg"... scored two... one frm me and one frm a guest player.... not to shabby.... my only regret was that i couldn't play scrumhalf for long... just when i was getting into the situation, jamal called me up for standoff duties.... darn it... i think that we could have scored again if everyone had stayed in their positions instead of getting shuffled around.... and i think we could have won... but like wad BX told me... anything can happen in rugby... you just don't know what will happen... and you gotta be ready to play in any position that needs to be filled...

i'll be working to that....
