A Real Sport

Another very exciting game.

Great performance by the boks. Was always going to be difficult to come back after such a great bok start but the all blacks sure gave it everything they had.
 
Watching is fun and all, but…

Playing is better. We beat Bozeman yesterday. I ended up with 3 assists, forced 2 turnovers, no missed tackles and no dropped passes/receptions. Worst thing I came away with was a sunburn.

Damn good day. Next weekend is elk hunting.
 
That’s what I tell people that have never played…you have to remember that YOUR tackling without pads also!!!
When I first started playing rugby I came away with a bloody n bruised forehead and face from being trained to tackle like that forever
eeexxxactly
 
A linebacker buddy and I wandered over to the ruggers field in the spring.
After a day of 'practice' we ended up in a game, sorry, match on the weekend.
No one explained the rules to us.
About 3 minutes into the match, he laid some one out with a textbook, forehead-first tackle.
He was seeing stars the rest of the day. It was a great hit.
I was put at about the 2nd or 3rd flanker position.
After latter rolling to the flanker, I laid a guy out with a perfect block on the cut back.
Had everybody yelling at me, including the ref, whom I could not understand. He was either
english or south african.
I was a backup punter in college. The ruggers liked the nice spiral and distance I put on their
fat footballs....so there's that. :cool:
