Rgs,

Nick

I just wanted to give you a belated congratulations on your team's success this past season. I saw a bit of the national championship game (when I wasn't trying to find the showers for our team at Stanford stadium - we lost in the game prior to yours) and came away highly impressed by your team's fitness and ability - especially the props, who seemed to be moving around like loose forwards.

Best of luck this season

cheers

Nick- my name is Aaron Latzke and I played up at UCD. I have just finished school and am now getting ready to head over to NZ with one of your players, Brian Barnard. I started doing crossfit with Brian for about 2 wks now and was curious about how/if you implemented speed work into your training regimen. Your guys were definitely very fast, but I was wondering if you did anything speed specific. Thanks, Aaron
