Rugby Practice

I went along to watch Quinn's rugby practice for the first time this week.Having been really sick all week, on Friday afternoon for the first time I felt well enough to get out and about so I agreed to meet Quinn and Richard at Quinn's rugby practice at the club 2km from our house at 5pm. I had decided to run there.

It turned out I was not yet completely well and the short run was not easy, at all. Hopefully I will get my fitness back quite quickly because being this weak and out of form sucks!

The practice was cute. Some of the kids are SO dedicated and keen, and some are already really talented. One little boy in particular, Thulani, shows a real flare for the game.

Quinn is very funny to watch, he is interested but not entirely dedicated - as he is thinking more about how he looks and not getting hurt than really getting involved. He can be found hovering behind the action and if a pile up (ruck?) occurs near him, he'll walk over and climb on top! LOL! :)

The 'coach' (one of the dads volunteering to help) passed Quinn a hospital ball (Richard had to tell me that that was the correct terminology) so that he would get a turn to do something. Quinn caught the ball with skill, but then just stood there with it, and we all had to yell at him to RUN.
It was fun to watch and Quinn enjoys being there. He even decided to sign up for the Rondebosh, Redham, Wynberg match series for Saturday morning. That should be exciting and fun!
