It was our first home game of the season on Saturday and after a last-play-of-the-game defeat in the season's opener we needed a win and a good performance. We got both - even if the performance in victory was not at quite the same level of intensity as in defeat the previous week.
I turned my ankle early in the game and was pleased with myself that rather than taking a few minutes out I just got it strapped over my sock and played on until the 68th minute when I was given a rest. It wasn't actually until later in the evening that I realised how swollen it was and this morning it is going a nice shade of black/blue/purple. Thankfully I have a physio appointment this evening which will help quicken the recovery. I also have an odd sensation in my left hamstring, the result of some sprints on Thursday night (props sprinting?!). My guess is I won't train tomorrow so I've got a few days to sort both ankle and hammy out before the team run on Thursday.
I'm really enjoying playing and training at the moment so will do all I can to make sure it's fine for Saturday - which I'm sure it will be. We have a tough away game at Selkirk... and I can't wait!
