Taking some time-out by the lake, beautiful but interrupted by scary earthquake!

Thanks to London Welsh for donating these jerseys!

Past few days have seen earth-shattering events. Not only did the ground rumble due to sizemic shifts, but after individual coaching sessions, finally the schools are making thunderous contact on the engagements of their scrums. Slowly by slowly we are imparting the correct techniques to eager forward packs.   This skills set should be further enhanced with the arrival of the Canadian prop, Sarah Formiglio. The up-coming weekend sees the first mens/womens’ 7s tournament of 2008. The schools league takes a break after 3 incredibly successful rounds.  The Federation of Rwandan Rugby finally held elections for a new committee and congratulations are offered to the new President, Alexi Kamanzi, we look forward to seeing a closer working relationship in the future.  We are looking forward to welcoming several visitors to Rwanda, not only are Emma’s parents taking the plunge into Central Africa, but also other volunteers whose coaching skills will be greatly received.
