How come?
RUGBY: Two players (one a forward and the other a
three-quarter) did not attend a single practice session nor a trial, but
found themselves picked to represent the country in Rugby 7's at the
forthcoming Asian Games in Qatar.
One is suffering from a hairline fracture of the arm, while the other
has an ankle injury, and another player, who was injured figured in the
trials and was selected.
Also, the acting national coach and his local assistant, requested
two other players to replace in injured, but the selectors had overruled
their suggestion.
I understand that a fitness test is to be held tomorrow (Monday) for
the injured players, but surely cannot the selectors understand that one
must be hundred per cent fit to play 7's rugby.
Players who attended all practice sessions and trials are disgusted
about the whole affairs. (L.G.) |
