Wales versus south africa today is a strange occasion. Normally a huge game, this perhaps means a little less to most because technically we are out of season and it may be that we have had enough of rugby for this season!!
The season used to be septermber to april if you were lucky, now it seems as if it goes on all year with summer tours etc.
Anyone who plays the game knows though that the game really goes on all year, with training and pre-season going on throughout the summer, with some pre-season’s actually starting now. No player can afford to be off-season anymore, its all about improving your conditioning year in year out and improvement being the operative word.
You should be having the same attitude too, being in shape all year round is tough, but being in generally good health all year should be no problem for you now!! You have all the tools to stay in shape, you have the motivation and you know what to do.
It comes back to the same old saying “there’s heck a lot of difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it”!!
Enjoy the game!
