Why i love rugby

Ginger

The feeling the day after training that you have been through the mill! There is stuff hurting after forwards training that I didnt know I had!

Mild AC separation from last night. Not so much a grade 1, but a bone on bone collision despite shoulder armor which I now have lovely honeycomb shaped bruises from.. That will teach me to get lower in the tackle!

From the love of the game and all that...

Try explaining to a workplace full of norwegians that you have a damaged shoulder, stud marks on your back, sore necks, few scratches here and there and that you were doing it for fun!
