A Wendy Update

I know its been a while since I have wrote about my knee, my life or my personal rugby adventures...and I know you have been waiting with abated breath...so here I go!

The last month has been crazy at work, we have been WAY busier than normal and that is a good thing. I recently began doing web site work for my company as well and that extra little project is pretty time consuming. I have finally learned what most of middle America already knows, once you are salary, the hours don't matter. I am not complaining though, I love my job and the people make it worth the extra hours! So basically the rugby posting has turned into news and updates for awhile since I am so busy at work.

The knee is doing fabulous, I have been a bit of a gym slacker lately (look above for the extra hours at work), but have been able to start doing more at practice. Last Saturday I attended the Texas Rugby Union Senior All-Star Tryouts with the intention of just giving Dave (head coach) a hand, but my competitive spirit got the best of me. Since I now have my sexy new ACL brace the BREG Fusion I am starting to be able to cut and do some more active rugby work.

So at the tryout they ran the dreaded Beep Test and I was going to just count for my partner, but then I was incredibly curious to see how far I could make it...so of course I ran it. Drum roll please....

I got a 6.8....

Not bad for limited working out for 3 months with a brand new ACL! Surprisingly I beat almost half the camp (even a few backs!) and that is interesting as well! Just an FYI I did some research on typical Beep Scores and Elite Beep Scores check it out below:

*Front Row: 9 -11 stages, 2nd Row: 10-11, Back Row: 11-13, Half backs: 12 & Backs: 12-13

*The Dutch U21 selection used the scale above.

**The Springboks in 2007 expected scores for the beep test range from 11.5 for the props up to 13.5 for the backs (conducted on grass, more on Springboks norms).

**NSW (Australia) Under 17 rugby union squad are required to reach at least level 10.8 (Tamworth Leader, retrieved Aug 07).

**Most professional rugby flankers score in the 12 to 13 range, while props score around level 10. Jonah Lomu, the awesome 260 lb winger from the New Zealand All Blacks, has a best of only level 10 explaining why he is a winger and not a number 8.

**These results and others were found at Topendsports.com and may be factual or not...

Sorry to go off on a tangent there, I haven't ran the Beep Test in quite some time. The last time I ran an 11 something, so halfway to my regular beep score at 3 months after ACL surgery is pretty good! So at practice I have ceased standing around wishing I could play and now I am able to do ball handling, fitness etc as long as it doesn't contain contact. The knee feels really strong and I get less sore everyday I attend practice. While the knee is less sore, it is making me feel more reckless, I have began dreaming about playing as early as May...

So a little update on me and my ACL recovery, fitness and busy work life. Hopefully work will calm down and I will be able to return to my regular blogging, not just regurgitation. Thanks for reading!

This weekend the Valkyries are playing Little Rock, AR (University of Oklahoma dropped out) at 1:00pm at Highland Park in Dallas, TX. I will also be at Western Collegiates all weekend reporting live scores and updates.

Rugby Re-posts

Rugby-huligaanit kohtasivat!

I'm not entirely sure what the above headline means, but I am guessing that it is not a million miles from "certifiable lunatics play rugby on frozen Finnish lake...".

Its March, your north of the Arctic circle, its more sub-zero than anyone with any sanity might wish to become acquainted, so what do you do? Stay warm and snug by the fire... or play rugby?

Faced with that choice earlier this month Jyväskylä Rugby Club, about 200 miles north of Helsinki (or anywhere else, come to that) decided to run a rugby tournament. Lumirugbya - (more pictures at this link) is what they called it - Snow Rugby apparently - and some real Lumis from as far away as Luxembourg leapt onto whatever the appropriate transport was in order to get there.

Exactly what then happened is best left to this in-depth report and your own abilities at reading Finnish - though an Italian enthusiast I know with a smattering of the language tells me that the home team came out as winners, beating Helsinki Warriors in the final.

**LOVED the picture so I had to repost it, thanks to Letchworth Girls' Rugby for the original post! Sometimes I get sad that I may never see snow again as I live in Austin, TX. Vacation what?

And in the spirit of reposting, check out this controversy brewing in the Midwest Rugby Union and more specifically the Iowa LAU website. I would not want this blogger angry at me...and notice the Iowa LAU website has no mention of the picture nor is it up for viewing anymore.

**NOTE: There is some foul language in this post and the images are sexually explicit.

Women in Sports: Still for Ogling

| posted by Guest Blogger | Thursday, March 27, 2008 by Shaker Em

So I've been asked to make a guest post on a subject near and dear to my heart—women athletes. The sport in question is rugby. I play it, I am a club administrator, I recently received my referee certification, and I hope to one day coach. I am unabashedly in love with this sport. That's why I'm so pissed off today. Today I discovered that the website representing my local area union had—oh wait. I suppose I better explain a little about rugby in the United States.

Rugby in the US is governed in a hierarchal structure that starts at the local level with affiliations known as local area unions (LAUs). These LAUs can govern an area up to the size of a state. These in turn are grouped into seven large territorial unions (TUs) that encompass multiple states. At the national level, the TUs are governed by USA Rugby, who in turn answers to the International Rugby Board (IRB). It's a simple Matryoshka doll set-up, with LAUs as the smallest piece, and consequently, they tend to be most informally organized and receive the least oversight from the national organization. Got it? Good.

So like I was saying, today I discovered that the webmaster for my Iowa LAU homepage had posted this:

I wonder what USA Rugby thinks about having its logo prominently displayed next to such a fine piece of ass?

Now, I really can't figure out what that picture has to do with rugby, can you? Does it look like it has anything in common with this?
You don't think so? Well, neither do I, and neither did one of my teammates who also saw it. We both wrote letters to the webmaster and to the LAU President, who addressed our concerns by telling us that being "extremely angry" about the inappropriate and irrelevant photo was "a bit of an overstatement" and that use of naughty language should be avoided if we "want to be taken seriously." See, apparently the word "fuck" when used by a feminist in legitimate anger is problematic, but posting an image of a woman suggestive of the activity to non-feminists is not. Who knew?

Further fun was had as our LAU President explained that he noticed the picture when it was first posted, and thought it was inappropriate, but "wanted to see how long it would take for someone to comment on it" in order to gauge website traffic. (Tip: Get a hit counter.) And, repeatedly, he told us it was up for more than a month before anyone said anything, as though it has actual meaning as to how much traffic the website gets. All that month between posting and uproar really says is that anyone who saw the picture either approved of it, further reinforcing the sexist culture of rugby, or didn't feel comfortable speaking up. I can't help but wonder how many potential female players might have stumbled across that site and been lost to rugby before we spoke up about it.

But things were about to get worse.

After several email exchanges, the picture was replaced…with an image of Oscar the Grouch:

Get it? Teh wimminz, they have no sense of humor! HAW! HAW!

The sexpot and the nagging killjoy: two classic misogynist views of women, all in one post! See, ladies, complain about how we treat you and you will magically grow green fur and bushy eyebrows! And then we won't want to fuck you, and wouldn't that be sad?

Funny how still there is no image of a woman athlete...you know, the sort of woman that the union and the site are supposed to be representing? Funny, that.

When confronted about this remarkably passive-agressive move, the webmaster explained, "The replacement picture was the result of a random pic search on google and seasame street pics is what came back."

Oops, caught you lying! Take a look at the Google Image search page. Notice that there is no randomizer button. Therefore, the search Shawn conducted must have been for a specific term or phrase. Now take a look at the result of a search for "sesame street". Do you see the image anywhere in there? I'll save you the trouble—it isn't anywhere in the first five pages of search results. Now look at the result for the search string "oscar the grouch". Notice anything? First page, bottom right corner. Sorry Shawn. Your innocent act isn't fooling anyone.

When I said I would make this issue public if an apology was not issued posthaste, our LAU President replied, "I'm not going to kowtow to threats." Okay, fine. Then how about doing it because it's the right thing to do? Let me remind you of something, pres:

Rugby is the only contact sport in the world where the laws are exactly the same for men and women. It is truly the finest example of a level playing field in the sports world today—at least, that is, in terms of theoretical opportunity. Let me make that a little more explicit…

In rugby, we.are.EQUAL.under.the.law.

In real terms, however; that is, in how many women get to truly access those opportunities?—well that's a bit different. Women's teams are consistently underfunded, understaffed, underwomanned, and placed lower on the totem pole than men's teams. It is only the early start of women's rugby in the US compared to other nations, and the large potential player pool, that has allowed the US women's side to remain competitive internationally, and frankly, if a fifth place finish in the most recent Women's World Cup says anything, it is that our consistent devaluation of women's rugby in this country is opening the international field to other countries. We are losing ground, and if the old boy network that still controls many of the LAUs around the country is any indication of our commitment to women, we will continue to lose ground.

You know what attracted me to rugby? That chance to be completely equal, just for 80 minutes on ten or so Saturdays every year. No bubble, no bigger or smaller ball, no different three-point arc, just me and my team, together, playing the game by the exact same laws as every other side across the world. The one field on which I can make a hit by the same rules as anyone else. That's fucking special. What you don't seem to realize is that, despite how much you guys have done for rugby and women's rugby as a whole, your behavior on this particular incident has SET RUGBY BACK as a whole. You have a great history, and I'm glad that other people care about rugby as much as I do and are in positions to make more changes than I currently can. I am not questioning your history of supporting rugby. I am questioning your response in this particular incident, and you have as much as admitted it is completely indefensible:
Call it a bs answer, but it's the truth. Call it inappropriate, and maybe I don't have a response...or at least not a very defendable one. Whether or not I'm a nobody or somebody, I'm still able to make questionable calls.
This was a not a questionable call, and to characterize it as such further reveals exactly why we need to be having this conversation. As my teammate said:
Of course I'm extremely angry. Why is it so hard to understand that the image would be offensive to women? Especially when displayed on a site that is supposed to represent the women's rugby teams of the state of Iowa. This is a direct reflection on the union, and the attitude you are taking does not give me much faith in how the union feels about its women's teams.
And in the words of other women ruggers:
I am appalled to see how the Iowa Rugby Union is representing itself. It is disappointing to see how high you value women.
Is that how the Midwest views the women who play rugby for this territory? Scantily clad in underwear, objectified? The Midwest currently boasts a large number of international women's players, women who have fought to earn our nation a fifth place finish in the entire world. We women in the Midwest are the reigning National Division 2 champions and runners up as well as the runners up for the Division 1 National Championship. We continually dominate National All Star Championships. In short, Midwest women's rugby players are some of the best in the nation and the world. I understand these are achievements of the territory at large, but Iowa is part of this effort and I am outraged that such a photo would appear on a website representing part of my rugby union.

Images like that, postings like that, are harmful to the advancement of women's rugby as a sustainable and legitimate sport in this nation. Only when thoughtless actions such as that are stopped will we be able to gain headway and advance. As a woman, as a rugby player for one decade, and as a professional, I am insulted that the union would display something such as that image.
Like I was saying, this was not a questionable call. It was an easy one, and you completely blew it. Your responses to the above emails claimed the problem had been fixed, instead of the truth, which was that one offensive image was swapped with another. Most importantly, your responses lacked both an acknowledgement that sexism in rugby is still endemic and an apology for contributing to its perpetuation. And even in the midst of these placating replies, you continued to defend the indefensible and justify the ridiculous caricature of myself and my teammate as whiny grouches. In an email to me:
The picture that he posted as a replacement is comical and sarcastic, maybe leaning towards an inappropriate inside joke, but it does not make the matter worse. Since he's doing all of the web development without charging the union, I figured I'd give him his little victory for a day before telling him to remove it.
And I should believe you respect women, why, again?

Ultimately, THAT's what's making me angry. Falling back on privilege instead of standing up and admitting you were wrong is a coward's ploy. It's difficult to confront the fact that you messed up. Yet, people do it every day. It is important to understand that as a man and a rugby player, you have privilege over women and women rugby players. An abuse of that privilege such as has been recounted here is detrimental to the fight for women's equality both within rugby and without. You need to understand that it is not your commitment to rugby I'm challenging, but that privilege. I care about rugby too. Like the rest of the people involved in this crazy sport, it takes up more of my life than I should probably admit. And that is exactly why I cannot let actions such as these stand. They hurt something I care about, and I won't be quiet about it. It's my right and obligation as a woman, a rugger, and a member of the human race, to demand that women's bodies and athletic abilities be respected, and to challenge the dismissal of women's voices in rugby. This is not an inside joke or an isolated incident in a small LAU on a web page hardly anyone sees. It is part of a larger culture that needs reform, and I am doing that work to the best of my capacity.

I wish my LAU President (and the webmaster) would join me.

[I depart with another huge thank you to Melissa for providing me this opportunity to blog here. For every woman and girl who wants to play, there's an incident like this that discourages them. It has to stop. If you are so moved, I would like to encourage you to send a letter addressed to LAU President and/or LAU Webmaster to Liss, or leave it in comments, and I will make sure they get them.]

My a$$ is on Google Maps!

So I noticed that Austin has Street View now and so I looked up my work, Auditorium Shores, my co-workers house and then my own house. Then I noticed that there was a person in front of my house! So I zoomed in...and it was ME!!!! I think I am petting a cat or just leaning over to pick up something...take a look below:

Nash Bash Rugby Tournament 2008

About the Bash

For 26 years now, rugby clubs from all across North America have traveled to Nashville for this extraordinary event. Held in late March, the Bash continues to provide both men's and women's teams with a high quality, entertaining weekend of rugby, At the 2007 Bash, almost SEVENTY teams enjoyed the exceptional weather, great competition and seven pitches of non-stop rugby from sun up to sun down. We are expecting nothing less in 2008!

On the men's side, the Bash's festival format pits teams of similar ability but different geographic regions together to create matches that would not occur during regular season play. Every side plays one game a day, ensuring that all matches are of the highest quality. Our scheduling committee prides itself on placing teams in evenly matched, competitive games.

The women's tournament is one of the largest in the country, and again offers teams a chance to play a number of clubs from distant geographic locations. We have both a club and a college division with prizes awarded to the top finishers. Nash Bash provides an excellent opportunity for clubs in cooler climates to get in some warm-up games before the start of the season, and teams from warmer parts the chance to size up possible playoff competition.

The referee core assembled will be top notch as always, with many of the highest level refs in the country calling the games. We provide on-site professional training and medical staff. There will be rugby equipment and apparel on sale as well. Also, we'll have live music and an outstanding social as well as photographers and videographers on-site to capture all the great rugby moments. Make plans to attend the Bash and find out why this is North America's Premier Rugby Festival.

**Update from Facebook on the Your Scrumhalf Connection profile: Nashville was fun as always, but at 9am sunday, the tournament director cancelled all games after noon b/c a storm appeared to be approaching. It never rained, and no championship games were played. Atlanta would have been in the finals with either Detroit or Northshore (who tied).

USA Women's National Team Wins it ALL at Hong Kong 7s

Women Eagles Win Hong Kong
from womeneagles.com

The U.S. Women's Sevens National team went undefeated thorough 5 matches to win the Cable and Wireless Hong Kong Women's Rugby Sevens tournament. The US defeated Canada 21-7 in a thrilling final played before 30,000+ fans at the Hong Kong Stadium. The US also defeated a strong team from France in the semi-final 5-0. Canada got to the final by defeated Kazakstan 17-0.

Hong Kong Sevens Update: U.S. Women Win Cup Final, Men Defeat Tunisia Day 1
from usarugby.org

The USA Women’s Sevens Team went unbeaten in Hong Kong, defeating Canada 21-7 in the final before a crowd of 40,000 to win the Women’s Hong Kong Sevens Tournament on March 28.

In a rematch of the San Diego International Women’s 7s Final, the USA Women again met Canada in the championship, with the game beginning in similar fashion. The USA gave up an early try to its cross-border rivals, but quickly turned up the intensity defensively to put down the Canada attack and control the field from then on.

The Women’s Eagles came thundering back to score three unanswered tries and bring the final tally to 21-7, with Teena Mastrangelo (Chicago North Shore), Alison Price (New York) and Amy Daniels (Beantown) each contributing one and Pam Kosanke (Chicago Northshore) successfully booting all three conversions.

“I am ecstatic for myself and my teammates. It is the first time that any team other than New Zealand has won the Cup, but it means so much to us along the road to Rugby World Cup Sevens in Dubai next year,” said the USA’s Tyshawn Henry, following the victory. “It is an amazing experience being here in Hong Kong and to play in a packed stadium. Hopefully this will be the first of many opportunities to play in the world’s biggest rugby stadiums.

“Anything can happen on any given day and we are very much taking it one tournament at a time. However, with the San Diego and Hong Kong titles under our belt this year we can keep on building and possibly lift World Cup next year.”

Earlier in the day, the U.S. Women faced a stern test against France in the semifinals. After a hard fought battle between the contrasting sides, the first half ended in a 0-0 deadlock. However, in the second half, the USA was able to muscle out a 5-0 victory, with Ellie Karvoski (Little Rock RFC) darting in for a try with a minute left.

In other Hong Kong Sevens news, the U.S. Men’s Team held out against its first pool A opponent, Tunisia, on Friday evening. In extremely wet conditions, the U.S. was able to recover from a bit of sloppy play and hold on during a late Tunisia onslaught to slide by with a 26-21 win on day one of the Cathay Pacific Credit Suisse Hong Kong Sevens.

In fact, all of the top men’s sides won their opening games and although many teams were intent on scoring as many points as possible to secure a favorable quarter final draw at the end of day two, Sri Lanka, Japan and Korea all proved tough contenders in front of an impressive crowd of over 29,000.
