Lots of questions after a 12-12 tie. We had moments yesterday when we played very well and long stretches where we looked very sluggish. Hindsight is 20/20 and there’s a plethora of questions rolling around in my Guinness soaked head on this rainy Sunday after a tie…
Read what the Knights have to say.
Many times, especially in close rugby games, tactics are as important as anything else. Just as good technique can overcome brute strength, good tactics, the ability to recognize opportunities on the pitch during the game and the willingness and ability to adapt our game to take advantage of them, are very important qualities in a championship team. We have worked very hard to develop the skills and conditioning to take advantage of these opportunities, now we just have to begin to apply them in the right ways and at the right times.
Ft. Lauderdale was a good test for us because they are fit and well coached. They are much better than their 2-4-1 record represents. They played us hard but they also had vulnerabilities, weaknesses, areas where we could have attacked, where our player could have beaten their player.
But we were flat - everyone seemed to be waiting for someone else to pick up the tempo, provide the spark, lead the way. And we were lucky to come away with a tie.
