Fortunately on the day of the match a genuine No 8 turned up as blind side - being very helpful I suggested we swop and I returned to blind side.<br />I felt more comfortable playing there or even openside, having scored a try at No 8 in a training session does not make me a No 8. Having played in the 2nd row (for the U 21's) and hooked in the 7's I was just grateful to be on the outside flanks once again.Geoffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823957329719779410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101694739527706614.post-47667793565808259172009-02-28T12:31:00.000+00:002009-02-28T12:31:00.000+00:00haha thats good :) appart from one thing..
