Strength-training sessions were a priority at the assembly with players being instructed by strength and conditioning coach Paul Carter.
??We use the weight room as part of our recovery and the players are really buying into Paul??s approach,?? said Steinberg of Carter??s methods and techniques.
Split into two teams at the beginning of camp, players were forced to overcome unique climates with temperatures ranging from between 50 and 70 degrees. A torrential downpour falling during the middle of the assembly also added in making each session unique.
With the variance in climate coupled with fatigue from five days of practices and testing, Steinberg was very pleased with the results.
??The players?? focus was great,?? said the head coach in review of the camp. ??The game?at the end was a great example of high-level domestic women??s rugby.??
From here, regional and elite?camps will be held throughout the spring prior to tests against Canada,?before the World Cup.
Details for additional camps and fixtures have yet to be determined.
