It has been an amazing week. And a very tiring one. In fact, out of the past week, there was not a single night I was in bed before 3 in the morning, except for thursday night. And that was 2:30. And I had to wake up at around 6:30 for brekkie. Joy joy... but no, really, it was good. I had a blast. And I got to play rugby! Which, in case you didn't know, is the original sport from which our American football came from. (you add pads, a whole bunch of timeouts, more rules, and guys that shouldn't really be allowed out of their homes because they're such jerks, and thats how you get football - well, maybe we should take out the jerk bit. Not all of them are mean)
So Rugby was a blast. There was a group of about six of us playing, meaning that instead of normal 15's or 7's, we were stuck playing 3's, but still was fun. Rabbit (just a nickname for one of my friends) actually dislocated his shoulder, relocated it himself, and then was back in the game ten minutes later. It was intense. He was the only real injury thankfully. I tore up some scabs I had gathered on my legs earlier that week, but nothing major. The group of us that played consist of kids from Kansas, Oregon, and Washington, so we want to meet up again at the end of summer in Utah to play some pick up games round the universities. See if we can get some good scrum games going, with more then just six people playing. Needless to say, I cannot wait for the end of summer to go play again. In fact, I'm going to be purchasing a rugby ball as soon as I can... If any of you guys want to get one as well, heres the link - Training Rugby Balls -. I'm looking forward to seeing about getting some games going on up here. Not full on tackle, just scrummy rules, so no one gets hurt.
Also going to be entering the local rugby league. So much fun... Anyways, its late, and I'm getting tired, so this will be all for tonight. See you all tuesday!
yay!! rugby rockes!! roosevelt made all those rules so that less people would die and get hurt (for american football) i agree with your coments on that!!! I almost played on utah states womens rugby club, but for some reason it never materialized while i was there. the mens clubs at the universities in utah are pretty awesome though, lots of polys who know how to play. so if you play with them, get ready to be hauled out on a strecher!!!
