I was a Prop, a Lock, and...


A Hooker.




I've also had the opposing team's scrum run clear over me (cleats and all) when our team lost footing.

We also had a guy completely dislocate his foot- that was barf-bag city!

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

There are some angles the body is just not meant to be seen bending at!

I love Youtube.

Rugby's fun. When you're built like a stick figure and play rugby with 180-200 pounds guys from the South-West of France (where Rugby's as much a religion as wine and food!), well... it hurts, yes, but man are you proud when you stop one of them cold!

Flat on the ground and gasping for air, maybe, but damn proud all the same!



As for the others... 'world' football can be kinda fun to play, but there's so much money in it than the professional side of it is played by bad actors and prima donas, for a public comprising complete and utter twerps, who find nothing better to do than turn it into nationalistic low-intensity warfare. Rugby supporters never come to blows - although it could be because the players usually bleed enough for everyone!

And 'American' football can be interesting to watch, but the whole interruption thing gets tedious. It's like all the intensity coming from the flow of the game has been replaced with impact velocity...

But that's just my opinion, eh?

As my size dictates, I too am a forward - or was, at any rate. Tighthead prop who used to do the hooker's job, and had a habit of starting up a nice maul with the smallest player of the opposition's team.. very silly.

Scrum half.

Well, I'm not built very big but I can run like greased weasel s**t. Used to play on the wing, or somtimes No.8

I don't know alot about American football, but from what I've heard it sufferes the same kind of odd gameplay (as mentioned above) as Rugby League.
I can't really get into Legue, being a Union man.
