"Rugby: Good and Bad"

Played today in PE. Seeing as I missed the last lesson as I was off ill and they didn't tell me they were starting Rugby next lesson, I turned up with a White Polo-shirt and trainers. Not good.

So, after putting on a shirt from the 'Box of doom' we set about two teams and in the drizzle rain we played.

I used to play, for three years, and I have a good knowledge of the game. But by Christ is it tougher.

I took the role of 'running from deep' and got battered several times. Also got threw in the air by two players and landed in a patch of mud. Mmmm...nice.

But I scored 3 tries, because I'm good. Well, more like a ran toward the 'not-so-good' and 'small' players who couldn't tackle me. Bless them.

But since I stopped playing, Rugby has got a much more brutal game. It's amazing what two years absent from a sport does to you.

And now I sit here mud-stained. Better get in that shower quickly.

Good Heavens, I wonder why that was.

Funny, when I saw your name, I actually thought, "Not Azul!"

Is that what they're making rugby pitches out of nowadays then?

I disagree.

Passing, Side-stepping, Tackling etc...

These all require skill.

Rugby's a nutters game. There isn't that much skill to it. You just either have to be big & have no fear or fast as lightening. Technically football is much more of a skilled sport.

Preferred American Football to Rugby after playing both, can absolutely drill players into the ground in Gridiron, especially when the wide receiver is coming down from a catch. WHAM-O!!!! :-D

Of course typical ladies view. :) As legs are very important.

And rugby men are more tougher than the weakings that play soccer.

Lol.

If you women want a real man, choose a Rugby boy. None of these poncy 'Oooo I might spoil my hair' footballers.

Typical ladies view.

Good.. But only for the legs!
