You could just swap out the names in this and there's a lot of box ticking on attitudes/statements/practices of the current regime. :shifty:

Re: Social Club Rugby

You can register at a club here at no cost usually, and just pay the match fees (not much). I don't mind playing with a bunch of younger lads to a degree, but it depends if they're the ones that are nutcases and hit bloody hard, or just the ones that have played since little and just want to keep d...

Re: Adventures in kids coaching

My Grand Daughter played in the Rosslyn Park national youth 7s last week, her 1st real rugby since breaking a finger 7 weeks ago. Lots of the games were streamed on Youtube with proper commentary, action replays etc - really well done - coverage was very similar to what you get on tv with player in...

Re: Social Club Rugby

Club I'm part of has a poor attitude in my opinion. Talk about 1 club, but many seem to think that means it should be all about the 1s. When they have very low numbers they try and get people like me to come and play for the ones, then try and guilt trip me when I refuse. All that does is make me t...

Social Club Rugby

Does anyone still play or are you involved with your club in another capacity? I'm looking for examples of ways other unions are retaining / attracting the type of player who might not be that good, is getting on in years, doesn't want to treat it like the Premiership after work/family because they'...

Surely no current president can unilaterally void or nullify pardons issued by an earlier president. They are constantly pushing the boundaries. The flights to Venezuela are a prime example. They have violated a order from the courts in proceeding with them for "national security reasons"...

You'd think they'd draw the line or at least wait a bit longer before going after the veterans/military history, ffs, given how quick they are to thank someone for their service, wank over the military at sports events, etc.
