yesterday's game, at first, left me some concern. In the week we faced the moment, perhaps, more difficult and bad of the season. First of all we had to shake off the nervousness of the horrific it was for the previous Sunday, then anxiously wait for the official announcement that thank goodness we were right: it was not luck, not chance, but the result of a responsible and polite.
We trained hard, having to cope with travel, holidays, winter holidays, school trips, as injuries and suspensions that did not allow us to be complete in any of the sessions. But for a team like ours that lives only sacrifice of seamless, we know that these are any which need to be prepared to cope.
I was afraid that we would pay this week's "dirty work". And the day did not look the best, the flood of the weekend had made the field very difficult even to walk on.
However I must give place to the boys, have been shown to have good personality and anger that you just can not miss their performance against those groups with which you are obliged to make three points and that too many times, by implication, require you to difficult races that even you expected. Find the concentration to cope with the first class or play a direct clash everyone's cup, have respect for opponents finishing last no!
And yesterday with humility, hard work, sweat and game we managed to put a further step towards our dream. Three additional points that allow us to face particularly intense two weeks, where we give the best of ourselves. In which we are called to honor our commitment and our effort. Where we are going to play the games, those beautiful, those who count without fear, but only with the satisfaction of being there to play them. Why to play games that count, the path is long and difficult, and you should be able to get there. We have been able to do so and now we rightfully have fun and enjoy the beauty of playing this game.
