First XV Trains Through Mid-Term Break; Coaching Staff Cite 'Vibes Deficit'

Term 2, Week 5 · The Bulletin Sport Desk

The First XV rugby squad will continue training through the mid-term break, with the coaching staff confirming a full schedule of conditioning, scrum work, and what was described in the Tuesday email as "vibes recalibration".

The decision follows last Saturday's CAS trial against an unnamed eastern suburbs school, which concluded with what the head coach described in the post-match address as "a result we will not be discussing again".

Conditioning sessions begin at 6:00am on Bowman Field and run for ninety minutes, with a focus on aerobic capacity and on "remembering which jersey you are wearing". Scrum sessions follow at 4:00pm.

The coaching staff have introduced a new pre-game ritual involving a brief silence and the controlled lighting of a single rosemary sprig. The Chaplaincy has been notified.

First round of the CAS season commences in four weeks. Tickets are not required. Parents are asked to refrain from yelling instructions in Latin, which they did at the trial, and which did not appear to help.
