New Perspective

No, not dreaming it - seeing the evidence clearly, 

there’s clarity in an exceptional perspective here; 

it isn’t the game you’d usually expect, & because 

its called Rugby, that you’d see ‘same old, same 

old’ - but it isn’t the way these blokes are playing; 

there’s the physicality you’d hold as unavoidable 

demonstrably blessed in constructive energy, ok 

that’s a given, but it does not degrade strategies 

of proper team contribution - and that stalemates  

occasions where losing your rag is rank stupidity 

which won’t aid your cause, - but your mates are 

quick to see you need moral support; all of it was 

evidenced in two games of ITM Cup I’d manifest 

as compulsory viewing this past Sunday …
