We played Berkeley and Stanislaus on Saturday in 4 40 minute matches, to simulate conditions during the Bingham Cup in Dublin. We ate the fruits of our focus.
Oregon Mike led our trusty tight five up the pitch, and the return of rice queen Stewie brought needed stability back to the scrum.
Stewie is dating Vince. Vince is maybe 130 lbs, with a 400 lbs heart. Watching this skinny twink throw his body around is inspiring. Right next to him is 52 year old Duke. He started playing Rugby last year. Do the math.
Travis shattered his leg four months ago. T was hitting people as if he was swinging his set of crutches instead of his shoulders. Travis looks forward to the plague that ends Mankind. Well, he's looking for 50-60% loss. Very good of him.
But the player of the day was Big Chris. 40 plus, he just came out, in both senses of the word. He broke his nose in about 30 seconds, got patched up, built the bbq and keg stand for the after party, cooked and served the remainder of the afternoon. The man is selfless.
The time. The effort. The focus. In ten days time, 75 members of the SF Fog invade Dublin. Each has a story on how they got there. You'll read about them here.
