The Ghost of Raelene

Tearing an Achillies is done by instant force event. Stretching the ‘top and bottom’ of a Tendon isn’t really applicable.There is something very wrong with our training and conditioning that is causing these raft of injuries. Achilles injuries, generally are caused by not stretching the top and bottom of it.
You could make an argument that a lack of fitness has required out players to overexert to keep up with opponents, then raising the chance of injury.
Taken too long. Tells me there was no real plan. Did hear about the Tahs trying to get bigger but this will take away from ground fitness for this year. These things are done in stages in other sports around the world. We seem to be trying to do it all at once. Results in minimal gains in both.I think you are right but if that is true our chances of getting out of our pool are under serious threat. We have to get the squad to a state where they can compete effectively. That's not going to be helped if they cannot train at a level that keeps them competitive. I thought this was going to be fixed during Rennie's time?
