Tag Rugby contd.

Yesterday in PE class we played proper tag rugby games for the first time since we started learning about 4 weeks ago. I think we have come a long way since the first day and we understand the game and rules well and we play better together as a team. On the 7th of April we - as a class, are going to a tag rugby blitz in Dublin to play against other teams. I am looking forward to it because we have a good chance of winning a few games because we have had good training over the last few weeks. I think that women should be more encouraged to play tag rugby because it is a good team sport, it's a good way of staying fit and it isn't as intense as normal rugby. I don't think that it shold be labelled a game just for men because it's just like any other sport which women are able to play.

Tag Rugby (week 3)

So far we have had 3 lesson with Simon for tag rugby. I think that I have definetly progressed since the first lesson. I had a general idea of how to play the game before but I have learned the rules a lot better now that I have been doing it for three weeks. I think that next week when we play full games of tag rugby I will be able for it becuase we have been thought how to pass and how to play with the other members of your team which are essential in playing a full game. I feel confident enough about next week. I am enjoying playing tag rugby in PE class - it is a good experience to have someone who knows the rules and the game so well to be able to teach you.
