It was a thoughtful touch that made us feel like part of the team right from the start. Donning those jerseys, we couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement mixed with a bit of nervousness.
The day was meticulously organized, from the welcome briefing to the final whistle. We were split into groups and guided through various training drills designed to push our limits and give us a taste of what it’s like to be a professional rugby player. And oh boy, were those drills intense!
