Hi everyone and welcome along to the beginning of the 2008/09 season at Rodney Parade.
I must admit that, being a new lad, the Magners is a bit of a ‘walk in the dark’ for me but I’m sure it’s going to be a great competition. Given that the Heineken Cup and EDF champions are participating in the Magners League, I think this is a fair reflection of how good the rugby will be.
Our lads have been working very hard for the last two months with the physical conditioning and more lately retuning our game. I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that we’re hanging out for a kick off and some action.
I feel that in our three pre-season games we have been quite progressive without producing anything too overwhelming and as a consequence we still have kept our powder dry.
Glasgow presents to us our first big chance to make a statement. This year we want to create a team environment that demands growth and success and produce something that we ourselves and our sponsors, community and supporters can be proud of.
Let’s go…
Tom Willis
