We had the valuable opportunity to observe a public training session and kids' clinic featuring the full squad, including Michael Leitch, who made a strong impact in League One.
Watching a rugby training camp up close for the first time, we were able to feel the players’ and coaches’ energy and focus firsthand — an inspiring experience.
During the morning session, the players were dripping with sweat, soaking wet their jerseys. Even in exhaustion, they never showed fatigue by slouching or resting their hands on their knees — a true sign of professional dedication.
Despite the intense heat and humidity, every player took the time to engage with over 1,000 waiting fans. It was a heartwarming and respectful scene not often seen in tennis, and it left a deep impression.
In the afternoon, key players joined the clinic for children. Around 200 boys and girls of various ages participated in a relaxed, fun-filled atmosphere, with lots of recreational elements. The vibe was quite different from tennis — in a refreshing way.
Now, it’s finally time for the first match of the season against Wales.
Go, Brave Blossoms!
