School of hard knocks
In the firing line
RUGBY CAN TEACH YOU A FEW THINGS
When an opportunity comes along, grab it
Think correctly under pressure
Trust your team-mates
Don't be blinded by science
Prepare with rituals
Win ugly
Don't pile errors on top of errors
Become the referee's best friend
Defend without tackling
Chuck the kitchen sink at them
