Referees in England
After almost a season suffering with pulled calves I had a fast-paced game on wednesday and went without mishap!
Having paid a visit to a podiatrist almost a month ago I was given some orthotic insoles and some calf exercises to do, as well as having Asics boots recommended to me (for the 10mm heel raise in them). I wore them for the game as well as some Skins powersox. The game on wednesday was a quick game, with a good standard of rugby on quite a boggy pitch and the calves seemed to stand up to the test! Whether it was a one off, or the combination of new boots/skins socks, insoles and exercises we'll have to wait and see - but it feels good to be injury free after a match!
