Wet Wednesday

Wednesday was very quiet with little movement around the campus.  This was to be expected as squads often take the chance to take things slightly easier the day after a match, doing lightish training only in an attempt to give tired and possibly bruised bodies time to repair themselves.  During the day, the chaplaincy team became aware of at least 5 players across the tournament who were having scans on one bit of their body or another, a reminder of how physical a game rugby is.
Taking post-match day quietly also gives people time to go off an explore - it seems a shame for those who've travelled huge distances to get here, not to have opportunity to see something of the country they're visiting - mind you, as businessmen have often told me, they do that all the time - those of us who live relatively static lives need to remember that jobs or professions that involve lots of travel certainly can't be compared to a holiday (even though people joke about that aspect).  Today, whether squads stayed around Guildford or ventured further afield, they will have got very wet as it rained on and off, and was torrential at times.
