    You're right, RCSI cancelled on us this week. Was misinformed, thought it was you.

    They're always at that. Hopefully they'll be up and running for the league.

    Ugh, think I did my knee in. :( I have an appointment with the physio on Friday... Knew I shouldn't have trained on it yesterday.

    If I'm out for a week or two, will it really effect the rest of my season? i.e is it hard to make a team if you miss out on the preseason training?

    No , plenty of lads will pick up knocks/ have work /be hungover over the season and you'll get a chance

    If you play on the J4 team you'll fit right in about 75% of the team by not going to training

    I won't be out at training until next Monday, at the earliest. I have blisters from running and I've another race this weekend, so I'll try make it out on Monday for some fitness work and to stretch my legs a bit.

    Nah, you'll be fine. Just remember that you need to do what the physio tells you, and dont rush it back - little knee niggles can turn into nasty knee injuries if you rush them. Particularly in heavy ground. Better to miss a few weeks than a whole season

    What kind of races are you doing? I take it your level of fitness would be pretty good already then? I was only catching up in terms of fitness and skills - that's what makes it addictive I think, on the first day I could barely position myself right, but now I'm dotting down tries and keeping up (relatively) with fitness. The idea of missing training makes me feel I'll un-do that work.

    I suppose I could do a lot of bike work to keep fitness levels up if I can't put pressure on the joint.

    Yeah, I probably should've rested it a bit more. Amateur over-eagerness I guess. ;)

    I did the Frank Duffy 10 mile last weekend, I have the Warriors run in Sligo this weekend (It's 15k with a mountain thrown in for good measure - video of it here). I've then got the grant Thornton 5k on the 10th, then away at a wedding from the 11th to the 17th, and the race series half marathon on the 21st.

    Don't worry about your fitness, or missing training, it doesn't seem to matter how far / fast I can run, I will still feel tired during your first game. The fitness required for running and the fitness required for rugby are two totally different things.

    Lots and lots of posts in this thread about the re-org, not sure when they're being officially announced and scheduled though.

    Hamstring/knee issue I picked up training, have 3-4 weeks of physio sessions before I can run on it again. Hopefully sooner than that.

    Hi all,

    Heading to Clontarf this evening with a friend (we’re bothcalled John). Looking at the possibility of joining J4/J5. Speaking for myselfI’m very unfit but love rugby, been living in the area nearly 5 years so kickingmyself I didn’t know about social rugby until my friend mentioned it to me lastweek. In terms of commitment it’ll be fairly inconsistent with work so I thinkthis will be the best option for me.

    I’m 29 but and last time I picked up a ball competitivelywould have been when I was around 16/17 so it’ll be back to basics for me!

    Looking forward to meeting more likeminded people.

    J

    Good stuff onceawasp, plenty of newcomers this year, some of whom have never picked up a ball, so you certainly shouldn't feel out of place.

    We are the only ones who will be training down their tonight I think. Tip rugby warm up starts around 7pm.

    Last year Monday was a bit like this:

    Tip rugby, stretches, some sprints, fitness exercises, some handling drills, break up and practice moves for backs / forwards, maybe a game and some more fitness to finish it off.


    Wednesday:

    Tip, stretch, handling drills, tackling drills etc longer forward back work, then join together and go through the moves, perhaps a match


    Monday seemed to be when we did most of the fitness work and Wednesday was geared towards matches.

    I won't be out tonight, my legs are in bits from a run at the weekend, but I think I'll pop out on Wednesday for a browse.

    You starting tonight dude? Good luck, enjoy it!

    Tip - don't wear soft ground boots, the ground is still pretty hard from the summer and I think that's how I picked up my injury.

    Hoping I'll be back before the 4 week mark... Inflammation has gone right down and I can walk on it no problem now... Also the less visits to the physio the better (for my wallet!)

    Yep starting tonight. Looking forward to it.

    Decided to head into Elveries and have a chat with the guys in there re boots as I haven't a breeze. Yer man said the hard ground wouldn't be that big a deal for a couple of weeks.... :(

    And to think he could have had an extra sale cos I was looking at runners/astro boots as well for that very reason.

    Well the ground was softening up a bit... But bring your runners with you just incase.

    I think contact training was starting last week anyway, so maybe studded boots would do the job.
