nice, I'm a forward hbu?
i was. i played for about 16y, but in the end my body has said nope - time to go! started as a lock, and ended as a flanker, typically at 7.
I miss it, but the recovery and time commitment required is not missed! I'm almost 40.
Played for my school, played twice for my county and then played for my local club. I stopped at age 17 because of injuries and I was crap! 😁
Played a game of touch once. Armchair fan forever it seems. Built like a prop, maybe see if a vets team wants me
I was exposed to the sport in school PE class in England and Canada, but never properly played outside of that setting. Didn't really start watching until MLR started and gave me a home team.
Played as a young teen, but was tiny compared to my peers at the time and had other sports I took more seriously, so it fell by the wayside.
By the time I was older and interested in taking it up again I’d discovered drink and drugs, and all sporting endeavours were discarded.
Nowadays I’m old and fragile so I’ll just make do with cycling and walking and stuff.
Thanks for everyone who shared their experience/commented I appreciate it and was cool to learn more about the people of this community
