SMU are not just here to make the numbers

In a recent heated debate among the IVP teams. Veteran participating teams such as NUS and NTU have already made early dismissal of SMU being a formidable force in the upcoming IVPs. An IVP Fan told SMUrugbytv,

“ Do you know why SMU is in the IVP? Cause there is 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd. So we needed another team to take a 3^rd place and that’s what SMU is there for!”

Upon these words, SMU’s Rugby President, DMC replied in diplomatic fashion, “We clearly lacked in quantity of players, in fact we be lucky to even be able to form a 15 a side team. However, we’ll probably give the other teams something to think about should they face us in a game of 7s. We will rape them.”

It’s true.

During a private combined NUS-SMU 7s training, an undisclosed fan on the training ground was heard commenting on the quality of the SMU players.

“ Even though there are only 5 SMU players at training today, the level of representation by them are all at LEAST at the National Under 19 level. With most of them mainly having been featured in the Singapore 7s squad in one point of time in their careers.”

When approached by SMUrugbytv to tip their chances for the crown of IVP championships, SMU players, were contend to just shrugged their shoulders and say “So exactly when are we going to start training? How about we start cardio sessions on Wednesday nights? Let NTU and NUS sign whoever they want... we simply don't care.”

With a team boasting of only two quality forwards, namely Lionel “robber” Poh(--> the guy who tackled NTU's THIAM last season and made him said 'wat the f*** was that?') and the President himself DMC (the man who single handedly tackled every nus players and eventually injured himself). The weight of responsibility of the forward pack will definitely lie heavily on their two shoulders.

While the wealth of talent at the disposal of the SMU back line, are causing a real headache for the SMU SELECTORS.

On the latest news in the transfer market, rumor has it that Desmond “I’m F***** up” Wee might be missing a season due to personal problems and might look to leave SMU. The star player was uncontactable during press time. A close friend of Wee has disclosed that this move might be due to the inability by the “I’m F***** up” Wee to secure 4/5 modules during his time of bidding. So far the man has only successfully bidded for 1 module from a potential of 4 to 5. Indeed the man has lived up to his name. Meanwhile SMU can only keeps their fingers crossed as the stars’ future hang in the balance. On even later news, the star player has pulled out from the secret 7s tournament due to a knee injury sustained while playing football. Now you understand the headaches the SMU SELECTORS experience.

Can SMU still be a force without the Wee? Or can SMU still form a team?
