HR Faithful - "Balance"

95 +% of the good parents and boys of HR have little to know answers to the questions that I have posed. They deserve better. Their boys deserve more playing time, and whether they like it or not I will continue to be a strong advocate for a change in policy. Rugby should follow the same rules that govern the rest of high school sports in Utah.
  • Import soccer players from another country would be sent home
  • Import basketball players would be sent home
  • Import baseball players would be sent home
  • I am not advocating that the kiwi rugby players be sent home!
  • Let them stay and play if they are following the rules to be here
  • Lets have some balance and error on the side of allowing more opportunities for local players to grow and develop
Is it that unreasonable to ask that if there are six young men from New Zealand here to play rugby for HR that four of them should be sitting on the bench at all times. If coming to Utah is more of a religious experience for these young men, as some have suggested, then they can sit on the bench and think about religion, while the local boys grow and learn by playing on the field. Long term the HR program will be much the better.
