We had a good training session today in Underhill Park. We played in the afternoon to accommodate the rugby world cup final. We will retun to our usual pre lunch time next week.
We started our training with our usual warm-up (I now need to keep an eye open for Gavin Henson and James Hook!). We then had a couple of games of bulldog with Grant and Nigel tagging.
I started to worry that the Dragons don't have that killer instinct when the boys suggested we play "kissy bears" not huggy bears (which we do to get the boys into groups)! Next up we practised collecting a lose ball from the floor and passing. The final drill was a 1 on 1 game that Grant ran. I liked this game and will play that again.
We finished with a long game of tag rugby. I am really impressed with the Dragons. There was some great running, swerving, passing and tries. The new Dragons Dylan and Jack played some great rugby. Well done boys!
As the All Blacks won the world cup today I though it the right time to teach the Dragons the Welsh Haka. The words can be found on a post lower down the blog.
Next week will be Halloween themed!
