Got news for you, you bugger... I was playing 2nd Team rugby in 1970... mind you, I'm a lightweight and I got the wind knocked out of me more times than I care to admit, but I did it.


I can see it all now....getting trampled running with the water bucket...

By the way..the flat side on the hat is for sleeping on your side with your hat on...

Looks dandy...!!!

Ah yes, the days of being a Gentleman Ruffian! I too played Rugby, starting in the 8th grade at 13 yrs and finished at the grand old age of 35, when a broken leg finished my career. I was always a Forward, having played every position in the Scrum. 8th Man was my favourite position, followed by Prop.

Alex, we had a name for guys like Geoff...Tackling Dummies!

Believe it or not, there is a Rugby league here in Texas. I'm considering joining, but my wife is dead set against it...something about the high cost of health insurance, I think!
