The BC Womens Premier Provincial Champion, Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, will play the Japan National Women's Rugby Team Wednesday afternoon at the Burnaby Lake Fields. Preparation has been going well and Monday night they were helped at practice with a srimmage against their own Third Division Men's Team. It was a full on Rugby game, Men against Women and the Women's Captain, Anna Schnell, was heard later commenting to her troops that it was the best practice they've had so far. It was interesting to watch as Assitant Coaches, Emma Hadfield and Ian Trevor ran them through different phases. Scrums in particular, were fun to watch as Tighthead prop Alice held her own against Jeremy Jarvis, a veteran on the Burnaby Lake Men's squad.
Lineout jumps produced mixed results, which would mean a closer attention needs to be paid to in this area.
The girls are pumped!! The squad includes some former and current National and Provincial reps, and for some of these girls, this is an opportunity not to be missed, as it is probably the only time they will ever get to play against a National Team. It will be an exciting afternoon indeed for all involved and those of us on the Management side are just as pumped as those who will be on the field playing in the Blue & White Color of BURNABY LAKE RUGBY
KAUKAUWA!!!!!
