CQ vs CD 23rd May 2009

On Saturday, we played a hard-fought 60 minutes of rugby against Chengdu, but came up short, losing 10-5.  Tries for Chengdu were scored by Morales (#13) and Aaron (#14).  Our try was scored by Carlos (#14).  MVP for the game goes to Ting - he played with two severe injuries in his legs, and still played a commendable game directing the backline.  Ting has absolute heart and should be cheered and thanked by all players.  Overall, I can't tell you how proud I am of this result boys.  We played very well and came up just short of beating Chengdu.  You guys did fantastic.   Game Summary: Despite the great result, the match started off poorly.  Our newer players were all there early as instructed.  Some of our starters made it there 20, 10, or even 5 minutes before the match started.  This is absolutely ridiculous and should piss all of you off.  I was pissed off, still am.  Warmup wasn't too great either, lots of dropped passes.  Warmup should be the last time when we drop passes.   We received the kickoff.  For the majority of the first half, they played the game in our half.  Our plan of going back and forth across the field came undone quickly as their press defense forced the tackle quickly and we were unable to regroup in time.  Our forward runs and pod running was non-existent and this is something we must train in the future.  For all this to work, Jair needs to take control of the field and direct the forwards - after passing, this is the most important job of the #9.    After lots of pressure, Chengdu finally caught us on an overlap and Aaron, their winger scored.  Simon missed the conversion.  We held them off for a long time, and this is very commendable.  With the 1st half coming to a close, we had one great chance with an attacking scrum 5m from their tryline.  As happened many times in the game, our poor hands caused a knock-on and we lost the opportunity.   We went into the half with the score 5-0.   Guys came out fired up for the 2nd half, and we knew we had to play well to take this game.  In the 2nd half though, our hands got even worse and there were more knock-ons than almost any 30 minutes of rugby I've ever played.  Our try was set up by a long run down the sideline from Xia.  On the try, Carlos joined the backline from the fullback position giving us an overlap.  Magic didn't cause this try, nor did any special trickery - this was simple, good, basic rugby.  Carlos won the sprint to the sideline and put the ball down to make the game a 5-5 tie.  I missed the conversion, so the game stayed tied.  Sadly, our push and big runs seen earlier in the half were not there later in the 2nd half.  It seemed that the injuries and heat had caught up with us and Chengdu was constantly on the attack.  To our credit though, our defense played like heroes keeping Chengdu out of the try zone.  Finally though, Morales, their #13 took the ball and bounced off 3 Conquerors en route to scoring.  There wasn't anything special about his try, we just missed the tackles.  A frustrating way for them to score the winning try, indeed.  With only a few minutes left, our efforts at a last minute try were not to come to fruition, and the game ended like that, 10-5. After the game, we had a great touch game where our new players got involved and got more experience.  This is very important and we're very happy to have all you new guys on the team. 

 

队员们,   上个周六我们跟成都打了六十分钟的橄榄球比赛,结果输了10比5。成都达阵人是Morales(13号)和Aaron(14号)。我们达阵的人是Carlos(14号)。我们这次比赛的最佳队员是范天鹰。他两只腿受伤得挺厉害可是没退赛。他一直领导我们后卫而且打得非常不错。他太勇敢,你们都应该感谢他的努力。总体来说,我非常荣幸能说我是重庆征服者橄榄球俱乐部其中的一个队员。我们打得很好而差点赢了。你们都打得非常非常好。   比赛总结: 虽然我们总体成绩非常好,比赛的开始让我很失望。我们刚加入队伍的队员准时地来到操场。可是有的“最好队员”迟到了。这太可笑,你们都应该一看他们迟到就生气。我比赛时生气,现在还生气。而且我们比赛开始之前的热身动作都不好。很多队员传球传得很乱。我们比赛前的热身动作必须什么都做很标准。 成都选了发球。大部分的上半时间成都在攻击我们在防守。因为他们的快速防守策略我们的攻击策略(多跑)很快地没成功。我们前锋拿着球跑和小组攻击策略都没出现。我们必须未来多训练前锋攻击策略。如果前锋要成功的攻击,成杰(或其他9号队员)必须控制及领导前锋队员。除了传球,9号最重要的任务是领导及控制前锋队员。   成都一直攻击给我们的防守带来了很多压力。他们终于了利用多一个人(overlap)的机会然后达阵了。他们的达阵后踢球得分机会(conversion)没成功。我们的防守做得真好可是他们的压力确实太强。上半时间快没了时候,我们有一次很激动的机会:离达阵线5米的scrum。可是我们非常可惜没利用这次机会:我们传球没传好然后球被往前面传了。很可惜。   半场时候总分是成都-重庆 5:0   我们的队员一开始下半很激动因为大家都知道我们很可能会赢此比赛。可是下半时我们传球变更糟了。这是我一辈子参加有最多传球错误的橄榄球比赛。我们达阵前夏嘉良表示了一个很出色的50米跑步。达阵时,Carlos从15号加入了后卫了攻击线。他加入后我们就有多一个人机会。这不是魔术或很创意的橄榄球,这是很基本的橄榄球,做得非常出色。Carlos达阵后,我没成功的踢球所以总分平了,5比5。我们可惜地达阵后没达阵前力气多。我们很多受伤的队员都受不了,伤害得太厉害。虽然受了很多伤害,我们的队员,尤其后卫,一直表示了特别好地防守。防守了成都的攻击很长时间可是最后他们又得了分。Morales(13号)拿着球了离达阵线10米地跑了。他达阵没有很特别的动作,我们的队员就没撞他到底。这是他们达阵的很让我们沮丧的方法。他们踢球没成功所以总分是10比5。比赛还有几分钟可是我们力气不多,没机会达阵。最后,征服者输了10比5。
 
正式比赛后我们队员打了碰式橄榄球比赛。此比赛给我们新手很多经验。这是很重要而且我们很开心看你们很快得学到橄榄球基本规则。

13 brave Conquerors, along with the amazing Deng Lu went to Chongqing to play the Black and Whites.  The final result was 12 - 24, with the Black and Whites coming out on top.  However, this game was far and above our best performance yet.  Tries for the Conquerors were scored by Jair and Peter Dobbs (an injury fill-in from the Chengdu team).  I made our only conversion kick. Man of the Match (MVP) goes to Mike Weed for his relentless pursuit, fantastic fitness, consistent running, and outstanding work in the lineouts.  Great work, Mike!   

Summary:We played a 30-minute half, followed by 2 15-minute quarters on a day that turned out to be the most polluted Chengdu day in the last year.  The Conquerors won the coin flip and decided to kick.  Immediately, we put the pressure on Chengdu with our strong tackling and their general unease.  The majority of the first half was played with the Conquerors on the offense.  We had a few strong goal line attacks, all of which came up short.  But Chengdu could not keep us away.  Patty almost scored the first try of the game, but ran over the ball line before touching down.  To his defense, the lines weren't very clear.  Only a few minutes later, Jair turned the corner against the opposing scrumhalf and pushed in for a well-deserved try.  With a missed conversion, the Conquerors were up 5-0.  This was a proud moment - the first time the Conquerors have been ahead in a game in our short history.  Chengdu was scared.  The half ended, and many shouts of frustration were heard from the Chengdu side.   In the first 15-minute quarter, the game started to get scrappy as tempers rose and guys got tired.  We gave away many silly penalties that a better Chengdu team would have capitalized on.  Casey switched to scrumhalf and used his size advantage against Jair to power past our guys for a try.  Hard to stop a guy like him unless your shoulder is aimed at his knee.  He missed the conversion kick and the score was tied.   Shortly after the restart, Chengdu's speedy winger, Aaron got our backs on an overlap, turned the corner on Peter, and raced down the field for a 60 meter try.  He is a dangerous athlete, and one mistake there led to the try.  With the conversion, it was 12-5 very quickly, and the first quarter ended up with the Chongqing boys a bit down.   Chongqing came out strong in the last quarter even stealing the kick-off.  The game was back and forth for a few minutes until the Conquerors' defense failed them again.  Approximately 10 Conquerors got sucked into a maul, which left Chengdu with quite the overlap, from which they easily scored.  With a missed kick, the Conquerors were down 17-5.  There wasn't much time remaining and the boys had to get it together soon.   And get it together they did.  Spurred by a big 50 meter run from Ting who turned the corner, the Conquerors were close to the opposing try zone.  With a lineout 10 meters from the Chengdu try zone, Mike caught the throw-in, and passed right back down to me.  I put my head down, Jonah pushed me from behind, and we came up short at the 1 meter line.  50+ year old Peter Dobbs, filing in for an injury on our side, grabbed the ball and jumped over the
