Brown sheds half a stone at World Cup boot camp
By Gavin Mairs
RUGBY NEWS CORRESPONDENT
The heat and humidity at England’s
World Cup training camp in Italy
have been so draining that players
have been losing around half a
stone in weight during training ses-
sions – more than three times as
much as during a Test match.
Humidity has reached 90 per
cent in Treviso, with temperatures
also soaring above 30C (86F). The
base was selected to prepare the
players for Japanese conditions.
Mike Brown, the Harlequins full-
back, revealed he has been losing
3kg (6.6lb) during England’s in-
tense conditioning sessions, com-
pared to the maximum of 1kg (2.2lb)
during an international match.
“It’s incredibly tough,” said
Brown. “It’s about 80 per cent hu-
midity today so as soon as you step
outside, everyone starts sweating.
You are absolutely dripping and
that makes ball-handling very
tough.
“And also, for your core
temperature, it is hard to
keep that low, because you
are sweating all the time and
it just sits on your skin and
then heats up even more so
you can’t get your body tem-
perature down.
“So you are constantly
feeling incredibly hot. It is
really sunny here as well, so
just to try and keep your core
temperature down is the hard-
est thing. We have got things in
place in training to do that –
guys coming on and spraying
you with cold water. [We are]constantly trying to wipe the sweat
off you so your skin gets the chance
to cool down.”
To combat the effects they have
been taking drinking water with
salts, protein shakes and eating
protein bars and fruit.
‘‘We weigh ourselves at the
start of sessions and then after so
you know how much you have
lost. The nutrition guys make
sure you get the right things
after training to put that
weight on. For example, our
first really hard session I lost
3kg of weight. So it’s about
getting the fluids back on
and eating more after a ses-
sion.
“In England I would
probably barely lose any
weight from a normal
session in normal condi-
tions. After a Test match,
I would probably lose amaximum of 1kg. And that’s playing
at the highest level under massive
fatigue. So that puts into perspec-
tive the weight loss that you can get
over here. Once you have taken all
the right things, we will go and eat
lunch and you are pretty much
back on it by the afternoon session
no problem – as long as you do the
right things.”
Brown is hoping to book a place
in the 31-man World Cup party, hav-
ing been overlooked for the first
training squad.
“I am a competitive animal, and
I absolutely love playing for Eng-
land, it means everything to me,”
added Brown, who won the last of
his 72 caps against South Africa in
June last year.
“That’s why I work so hard, off
the field and on the field. So it is
great to be here and I am trying to
show what I am about and show
what I can bring to the team. And
also making sure I am competing so
the team are also in a good place for
whoever Eddie [Jones] picks.”Sweating it out: Mike Brown
