My family was into rugby so it rubbed off on me. But I never played it. Played rugby league all my life but always followed the union.

I dropped football 'cause I sucked (I'm only a good defender) and it was boring, and when I was 9 a a dad's friend asked him if I was interested in rugby, when I tried it I just loved it and everyone thought I played in other clubs before...now I'm a lock

League is awful. I picked up a rugby ball when i was 6 and only recently (about 2 months ago) had to stop because of a persistent knee problem. Still i managed to play for 3 different clubs. I started at a rubbish village team. Then i went to a bigger team and i was captain for 2 seasons then i got injured and didnt get picked as captain so to annoy them i went to their rival club and played about 20 games for them before having to give it up. We were second in the table when i had to quit and then they finished 8th out of 12 when the league stopped a few weeks ago...Although i was their goal kicker so they didn't have a goal kicker after i left.

weeks543 · 13-04-2009, 01:31 AM

ddxforce · 13-04-2009, 10:54 AM
