Back from lazy(?) summer hols...and not really a splendid comeback either. Yes, we were robbed. But you didnt deserve it anyway he said. I think he's wrong - if you're the better team you DO deserve it. You all know what you did wrong he also said. The thing is we don't always know what we need to change - that is sort of WHY we have a coach. To help. H E L P. Nota bene: to scream that you're a useless fucking idiot is not helpful.
Please show up to training from now on so we can work on our stuff and not experience such an unnecessary and humiliating defeat again this season. And don't ever say you want to give 100% and win a gold medal if you don't follow through. You let everyone else down.
And ps. If I played for Enköping I would've bought a lottery ticket yesterday. And a win would almost definately have to be split with the ref. Anonymously of course.

Summer hols
Since rugby is on hold I made a grand comeback at the gym yesterday with a group weights session. As said earlier, you know you're doing well if you have a strong urge to hide your face in the sweat towel and cry during your work out. Some people were clearly there only for 'leisure weightlifting' or similar, since they had energy left to do 50 press ups while everyone else was stretching. Myself, I wobbled downstairs and went home with shaky limbs...

had the craziest dream...
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!
