Month: February 2014

On the 12th of February Allan from Oban came to do rugby with us. He taught us some of the basics for playing rugby.  The first game we played, after we were put into teams, was testing our attacking and our defending.  To do it we had five people at each end of the hall some attackers and some defenders, when the whistle was blown we had to charge into the center and the attackers would try to get a try and the defenders would try to stop them. When this warm up was done we played matches. There were four teams and Two teams were on and two teams were off. The aim of the game was to try to score as many try’s in three minutes. If you were tagged you had to pass the ball to a player behind you and they would try to score a try. There were five games played it was great fun.
