Whilst on holiday in Spain I received a call from my coach at Biarritz notifying me that I had been invited to play for the french Barbarians at a "friendly" in Belgium. A little shocked but never the less accepting of the invitation I quickly had to reschedule my Spanish road trip to accommodate the Barbarians run sheet.
From one country to another then finally at a halt in Brussels, my rugby debut was near however in a guernsey that was slightly unfamiliar.
Enjoying the relaxed take to training and well thought up 'throw it around' game plan I was all of a sudden ready to take to the field for the first time in a few months.
The match was enjoyable and it was good to finally get back into some contact. My personal take on my performance was a little scratchy but better for the run.
