Sometime Soon?




At last, some information is starting to appear with regards to the Men's National Team, it might be dripping out but expect the flow to increase shortly.
Players, we understand have been asked about a training camp the weekend before the Holland Test. Is this wise? Obviously there is a need to view how players react when they are working towards a common goal and whether they can match up to the standards that are required at International Level. We are aware that there has been a selector watching matches and presumably certain players and how they are performing. So quite clearly, there has been communication within the management team, which is headed by the youthful Mike Tatu, ( who are the others in the set up?) but how many players have they watched? This we cannot answer, at the moment, however we will endeavour to find out this information. Suffice to say, we believe that Mike will get things right and he will do things his way. What coach wouldn't? and we know that he will have his critics, but given time he is clearly the best man for the job in Sweden.
It will be interesting however to see the selection of the Squad, which barring injuries would probably be the same for both tests, considering the lack of time available between them. Can we expect to see some new faces?, has anyone performed so well that they cannot be left out?, will there be a return of some old faces?. Who, if any, will be dropped? Intriguing really, but we guess that it will not be too long before the squad is published and then the expectation will be over, not only for us, but the players who are longing to make it. My, it's almost worthy of a short story, don't you think?

  2. We have managed to gather some information and as far as we know, the coaching set up is, Mike Tatu FK, Mike Hale assistant coach (backs) and Kari Tapper assistant coach (forwards). We understand that a new Manager is to be announced soon.
