Your Scrumhalf Connection - Women's Rugby Blog

Still cranking away at the homework, I would venture that I am almost 3/4 done. Trying to cram 2 weeks worth of homework into three days has definitely been an adventure. Luckily I haven't been working much since I've been sick, so I have had plenty of time to read and study.

Today I am filled with nervousness as I realized today, I go tomorrow to train with the big dogs. Sure these aren't full international games, but this is a level I have never played at. I am eager with anticipation of meeting new teammates, meeting the coaches, supporting staff, trainers etc.

I haven't started packing yet, but the many emails from the coaches keep coming and I am thinking I am not going to be able to wait until tomorrow to pack. I will probably start packing tonight and finish off tomorrow. Then I leave tomorrow at 2:20 pm and will arrive in Minnesota around 7pm.

From there the schedule is pretty simple, we have two a days until Monday when we play our first match. We play Canada Monday August 27 at 3:30pm and Wednesday August 29 at 6:00pm (times subject to change). We will have a walk through practice or pool workout between Monday and Wednesday though. We have already received the line out and scrum calls, so I will begin studying those this afternoon as well.

Wish me luck everyone. Thanks for the support always...especially those of you that I have been telling since day one I would do it...
