School of Hard Knocks 2010 - Episode 5

This is the penultimate episode of School of Hard Knocks so as the series comes nearer to a the grand finale, the guys continue their preparation as they play another training game, apply for jobs, and meet Sir Clive Woodward.
Mentored by Will Greenwood and Scott Quinnell, both Test legends, the boys have already come a long way from when they first got together as a squad. The friction that comes from their differing backgrounds still exists, but theyve made great progress.
In this episode they get to meet Dick Greenwood, who is not only Wills dad, but a former England coach and player who has plenty to say when it comes to getting the boys in shape and teaching them the basic principles of forward play.
Their meeting with 2003 World Cup winning coach Woodward is yet another highlight of their eight week journey as they pick up some valuable tips when it comes to believing in oneself.
Theres trouble at the start of their game later on though, when one of the players is again found out to have been drinking, which proves a distraction to all.
The job applications at the Olympic Park go pretty well, and by all means it looks as though the group are setting about making great changes in their lives. Next week well post the final episode, and include an update on how the guys are doing today, a few months after the show was filmed.
To those who had some trouble playing part two from last weeks show , a link has been posted there now so you can catch up on what you missed out on.

Ok granted i had a good upbringing, but put it this way, if i'd acted out, and caused any ruckus at home, my opportunities would have shot to zero quicker than than these guys would pinch your wallet!!
So i behaved myself and got more opportunities.
ok, it sounded very grudgy i suppose, that wasnt really my intention....
I just think im tired of those who fall off the track being guided back on it with benefits, perks, money, houses etc, whereas those who are hard working and keep well to stay within the lines and on the track get rewarded with their own self satisfaction....as well as being given the wonderful chance to pay for those who fall off the track!....
I suppose if these guys get turned into 'good citizens' its one less face for me to crack if they get step up to me!

Straight legs?
Not sure I agree with the low arse stuff either - props want a high arse to give the locks something to push on.

I wouldnt go out of my way to have a scrap, but if one of them "tried to be 'ard" then why wouldnt i take enjoyment out of it?
To me it sounds pretty reasonable.....
