AFRC vs Navy – meeting at 10h00 Shinagawa Station

Hi guys,
I finally got a kick off from the Ricains: 13h00.
I suggest the following program for the day.
10h00: Meeting at Shinagawa Station, in front of the Keikyu Line gate
10h14: Express Train leaving to Jinmuji Station (direct)
11h00: Arrival at Junmuji Station, cross the road, do the paperwork to get in the base.
13h00: Kick off
14h30: BBQ XL size

Funny, when I said BBQ, the first rowers were the first to respond, but we still need some guys (12 for now), especially backs.

Yes: Joe, Charlie, Nike, Kosuke, Higashi, JP, Del Gallo, Adam, Philippe, Motojima, William, Dan.

AFRC wins over Moccossu 46-7

Hi boys,
well deserved win over Moccossu 46-7 last Saturday, Moccossu were not at their brightest but not a long time ago, the score would have been 25-15. This time, we did the job and we did it well, congrats.
Bruno "Statistics" Leroy was not here so I don’t have the exact list for try-scorer: in my mind, it was: 2 (or 3) by Yuji Satoh, 2 by Nico, 1 by Dan, 1 by Steph Durin, 1 by Matt D.

Quick analysis:
– almost everybody was on time so we had time to practice combinations in the back line + all together. The backline scored every try, so it does not need a genius to tell you there is a relation there.
– a good scrum gives us a good start= "no scrum no win"
– line-outs were not perfect, but the wind was strong
– attack/defense on 2nd and 3rd phase was better, keep on working on that.

Next game is on Sunday 25th vs US Navy: there are big boys but they don’t know how to play; strategy is: open to the wing + chip-kick.
See you on trainings this Thursday (Takadanobaba) + Saturday (Tatsumi).

Bye

Matt ROSENBERG
