Looking for a club to start with...

riddik · 13-11-2006 7:02pm #1

Im 20 and just lookin for a poor enough team to train with. I have no real experience other than playing with mates over the years. Basically I want a team that doesnt take it too seriously and where I wont look retarded joining. I live in knocklyon/rathfarnham/tallaght area, so anywhere around there is preferable.

Any suggestions appreciated

Ok, this is the 47,232th time I've seen this question so I have written what I hope is the definitive blog post on the subject!

Ok, it's not the definitive yet, but tell me what I'm missing. Oh, and if there are clubs that don't train at 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you are freaks.

Trojan \ Ruggie Bear \ daveirl as rugby players do ye ever get sick of new lads coming down to training to try rugby out and only last a few weeks before packing it in?

Have ye ever seen someone join rugby at a later age ( in their mid 20's onwards) who actually are good at the game?
