Rugby

Well I started to play rugby over here and so far it is going quite well. other than the ocassional scratch or bloody nose no serious injuries have befallen me. The last game we won and that is a good thing, plus it is getting me into shape. we have a couple more matches this year then we are done until september. but just wanted to let you all know it is going good. This is a picture of a scrum, of which I am still getting accustomed to the codes and dutch cursing, plus this is one of the few places where grown men pinch each other, yea you heard right..... pinching.




Despite all that after the match there is usally pretty good associations, very rarely are there fights at the end of a match or afterwards. Plus in true sportsmanship, all the players make a tunnel and clap as the opposing teams go thru them. This pic is of that.
