welshphil 164 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I played in the same village side as Johnnyboy for a while(obviously I was way better than him :D). then moved to a different side and played in welsh national division 2, when I finished playing I did the Team Managers role for a few seasons and then became coach of my lads junior team, He plays regional rugby at under 16's at the moment(Dragons) so I spend most of my time ferrying him between training and games! Wouldn't swap it for the world though, it's like re-living my career all over again - apart from the fact he's better than I ever was........ :D Halycon days Phil, great times. You always had size on your side you big shouldered brute. Heard good things about your lad, hope to see him playing for the senior Dragons side in a few years and then after that who knows. Yeah they were good times John, unfortunately the games changed for the worse , we definately had the best days butt! - by the way the shoulders came from lots of wanking... :laugh: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spade 224 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I played through school years at tight head. First got into it at junior school when I had a welsh teacher who insisted we had a rugby team. No other junior schools played rugby so we had to play senior schools. This was full contact and we frequently got mullered but I would never miss a game. One of my lads now plays flanker for local club U13's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wullz 408 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Played since school, back row and second row....that was in Larkhall...I know a wierd place to play rugby, but we had some real animals playing. Then I played for Dalziel and then Linlithgow for a long time.....moved to inside centre from back row as I was picking up too many injuries! Then I busted 3 vertebrae on a frozen pitch and I was ooot! Loved it....nothing better, had to be nice and suited up all week, speak politely and then on a saturday, got to mash folk on the pitch and get mashed afterwards in the bar! Best sport in the world.....sadly ruined by professionalism.....in my opinion! Still love watching, but too old and broken now......still go on tour tho! Been all over the world with it, been to all the home nations grounds and been to South Africa and Australia....I will be encouraging my wee lad to play, thats for sure.

NIckinSurrey 6 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Used to play scrum half or outside half at school but we were predominantly soccer or men's hockey so our rugby teams were carp and got ripped to pieces. My son plays loosehead which confirms the saying "no sense, no feeling". What winds me up is the standard of reffing at school level - varies from good through iffy to positively dangerous at times. We go to London Irish when other commitments allow. Wonder how this season will go with a fresh coaching team? Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
