It was all so very real.
Before the game between us and local rivals Enköping, they were complaining about lack of players - and especially afraid that their english girl would get injured because then, apparently, they wouldn't be able to continue playing in the league this season... Hence they asked us not to play uncontested scrums, but rather to play the whole game with touch rules! Lots of arguing followed as The Coach seemed to go along with this, while me and several Uppsala players were desperate to ensure we would be allowed to ruck and maul.
Woke up very confused.
(Then: got text message. Ran out to the bus stop to pick up today's copy of 018. Rugby girls everywhere!)

Punda punda
You get what you deserve. If you try to cheat during a playful game of relay at training and end up with shoulder pain from hell, your boyfriend won't even feel sorry for you. That'll teach you not to cheat at training, I only cheat in games he says... Then he prods me on my bruise and goes off. Clearly, next time I want to nudge the other team off course I shall aim better and not hit a sharp bone on the opponent...
Luckily, I was having too much fun during piggyback-touch (so called touch, I want to claim two mauled in tries for My and myself) to be disturbed by it, same goes for the punda punda game. We started off slightly confused, but at the end it wasn't bad understanding of the game that kept us from scoring, it was hysterical laughter from witnessing both My's spectacular performance and Henke's appreciation of it! Look out for video footage.

Top of the league
God, it feels good to go into the summer break as top of the league! Gothenburg can moan all they want about missing players as we had a flanker as scrum half, a number 8 as 10, a second row on the wing and a winger in the front row! Our own missing Sweden players will have to make a bit of an effort to claim back their positions now that we all proved to be so versatile.
I look forward to tuesday on the park ready to have some fun according to The Coach (that could be anything though, as our ideas about fun don't always sync). Hopefully we'll do a bit more of the stuff we've done lately - brain work. Think, and then act. It's difficult to do two things at once you know. I spent last season on the flank just looking for the ball and did screw all pushing in the scrum. This year I do a lot more pushing and less looking. Eventually, maybe, I'll learn to do both!

Status - fredag förmiddag
Det kan inte ha varit bara jag som kände auran av fokus när vi avslutade träningen igår. Tysta, tänkande spelare. Lätt nervositet, beslutsamhet... Drömmen om den där jävla bucklan skymtar i pupillen på alla jag känner, vi har väntat så länge nu. Kom igen tjejer, jag är så överladdad att jag spricker! Let's get ready to rumble!

The woman, the myth, the legend...
Spelare över hela Sverige ställer sig frågan: Hur kommer det sig att Uppsalas nummer 8 aldrig blir trött? Ny forskning har nu visat att hon är s.k. superhuman. För att inte framstå som ett freak låtsas hon ibland att hon tycker att Heinz Müllers är jobbiga, men för vår hjältinna är det egentligen bara another walk in the park. Dessa övermänskliga talanger tar sig också uttryck i att liksom scouterna alltid vara redo. Alltid redo att blanda en White russian i baren, laga efterrätt till 80 personer på årsfesten eller alltid redo när en lagkamrat efter ett ogenomtänkt beslut klockan noll två noll noll dansar i glas och blodar ner Flustret. Nummer 8 halar då fram sårtvätt och flera olika sorters plåster ur sin nattklubbsväska! Alkohol biter sällan på henne, vilket gör de få tillfällena hon är full alltmer spectacular - hon är upphovet till flera klassiska citat där mina personliga favoriter är det lösryckta Jag har en korv i väskan och gårdagens redan klassiska Vem fan behöver trosor när man ska till Flustret? Må hon aldrig sluta spela rugby!

Achtung!
Hm. Efter att ha spenderat hela träningen skrikandes instruktioner utan att någon frågat efter dom fortsatte jag i samma anda på vägen hem. Alltså, jag fick jobba hårt för att inte läxa upp andra cyklister som 1) inte visar vart dom tänker svänga, 2) kör mot körriktningen och 3) kör I BREDD mot körriktningen. Lika bra att jag aldrig kom i på polishögskolan den där gången, jag skulle vara olidlig i uniform...
