A dawn Faculty meeting for the Sport & Outdoor Education department, this morning’s skill was to make string from stinging nettles! This is a great team keen to learn and challenge themselves. #ShebbearCuriosity

[Robin Giles @RobinGilescoach]

@daviesGDD Absolutely agree, some have the ability & certainly is a skill worth developing. It should certainly be used as part of a large toolbox of skills.The fend & offload enables the defender to legally be taken out of the game & no chance of drifting/sliding on to the next attacker.

[Robin Giles @RobinGilescoach]

Incredibly happy for you Seb, a great example of someone willing to work hard towards a target, setbacks have fueled you to try harder. You are a great example and role model! Well done!

Thanks to the @UAERF for hosting the pilot for the @asiarugby #ACTIVATE roll out. Great that so many @uaerugby educators bought in and were a great example for Asia. Based on feedback we are hoping to continue roll out next month. #keepimproving @GulfYouthSport @yallarugby
