HC Rugby

Hey

yo people! ec here. Its the time to be merry...shalalalala.lalalala. The holidays are here and after our OPs are over, REAL training will start ((:

Meanwhile, while you poor blokes are preparing for that final hurdle for PW (good luck guys), the exco here needs YOUR help. We will be realllly grateful if EVERYONE can put down their plans for the holidays...not because we are like the irritating school admin and needs to know if u'll contract Bird Flu (or AIDS) but rather we need to have a rough idea of when people will miss trainings.

So, please put down your holiday plans in the comments section, stating VERY clearly the dates when u'll be away and the REASONS for your absence.

That said, training in the holidays will be complusory and it will be a good opportunity for us to improve so everyone will be expected to come for training except for the dates which you state that u cant come.

Thank You people and GOOD LUCK for OP ((:

CHAI SHUAI! haven't seen ya for a while, hope that you are on the path towards recovery and hope that u'll make it back in time! The team needs ya! Take good care of yourself!

P.S Anyone interested in weights training can contact yi-er cause he is a fitness buff and he's so strong :D

Guys, just some noteworthy and not-so-desirable points from today's training:

NW:
1) Vast improvement in pop passes.
2) Improved communication among the backs when on the offensive.
3) Forwards have FINALLY revealed their mettle in the area of tackling and crashing.

NSD:
1) Erroneous catching when doing lateral passing.
2) Backs are NOT sprinting into the ball when doing a line offensive!*
3) Tackles on the Rhino still on the high side for some.
4) HIGH TACKLES during the game. Knock it off guys, only gonna earn yourselves cards and
penalties.
5) Stamina still not present.

* You ain't gonna be able to gain ground on the offensive if u dun sprint into the ball.

Kindly continue working on the running even during your free time, if possible that is. Today's pace was alright, but seriously, it'd be much better with more ferocity and passion. Self initiative and drive are the key, i hate to holler.

Tht's all folks. Great session today.

Hi ppl, here's the 2nd piece of good news.

If all goes well, we'll be able to get the jerseys in around 3 days AFTER i get the money and PAY them.

Our all-blacks jersey looks similar to the one in my display pic :D. it's black shirt with white collar

The jersey size is the same as your pe shirt size, shorts should be around the same as the sch pe shorts too, and the cost.......haha i shall keep it private first, but pls pay up the $50 ASAP and i'll give u back your refund after getting the jerseys.

Sooo, pls post comments abt ur size and number for JERSEYS and SHORTS and NAMES (in case it's free too). alex help me compile k?

P.S. the previous post u all gave ur shorts sizes in numbers, not XL/L/M, that's why i need to compile again
P.P.S. forgot to tell u guys, pls include the names u all want to put IF printing names does not have extra cost. AND ALSO, pls tell me if you ALREADY HAVE socks and DO NOT wish to have another pair.

ok guys, this is THE one.

looking for a week where we can just play rugby and leave the rest of ur classmates studying in vain?

this is THE BIG one.

I cordially welcome you to......... The Hwa Chong Institution High School Section Term 3 Sabbaticals !!! (FYI, it's week 9, 18th-23rd aug)

The plan to initiate/start/host a sabbatical in high sch has now been preliminary APPROVED, and due to the late notice and the imminent deadline ( today is the deadline for submission of the application form AND to find a teacher mentor, and i only knew about it yesterday), Mr Ken Toh, a former HC rugger-cum-current pe teacher, has kindly agreed to be our teacher mentor :D.

This is the 0th/1st/2nd step in a bid to recruit more people to join rugby, so let's give it our all :D

Keep your eyes fixed on this space people, more great news coming up.....

Reporting, over and out

P.S. FYI, i've just recruited a prop-sized junior for our sabbac, and he has expressed interest in joining rugby :D

hey people.

3 things here.

first, jun zhe has designed a Polo Tee for Old Boys... a brilliant and cool t-shirt as shown below. It will cost around $25- $30.










Next, as we all know, Hwa Chong has come up with a damn cool "all black with a bit of yellow n red" jacket. we were thinking if we want to get this set of jacket for the whole team... like part of our "team jersey". Then yea we can like lol wear it before competition/matches and look damn cool as a team like those international teams you see in games(think england's red "jackets") So please pleaseee get one and we can own as a team! cost for now is $25 but who knows if we get it in bulk we may cut the price down!

So if you want to order any of the above, pls reply to the message in the following message as follows:

"Name: Chris Jack
Old Boys Shirt: Yes
HC Jacket: Yes"

Finally, yes Training is resuming this thursday, 3rd July, 4.00pm Side Field. As usual start at 4pm, means warmed up and all ready by 4.00pm. So yap, see you on thursday!

Hi guys, this is a slightly adjusted version of the jersey with horizontal white lines in lieu of vertical yellow lines.

hi guys

it's been a while. i hope you all haven't studied yourselves blind. here's a brief respite (hopefully) from your daily mundane mugging: the highlights of the 4 major international test matches over the weekend

• all blacks (new zealand) vs. england
• springboks (south africa) vs. wales
• wallabies (australia) vs. ireland
• los pumas (argentina) vs. scotland
  

hi guys

here are the videos! hope you had lots of fun playing the game yesterday. there were some big hits, great offloads, side steps and great rucking coming from all of you. though the commentators need some serious ass spanking. continue to love and play the game!

cheers!
