My roommates and I are joining the rugby team and I was wondering if there are any ruggers here?

Ive neve played, but I was a wrestler in high school and Ive heard that wrestling skills are an asset in this sport. I know very little about rugby.
Anyone got any inputs?

 

When I was in high school our football coach played rugby on the weekends. He was one of the baddest ***** we'd seen, and he came home looking like a butchered bag of buttholes on several occasions. So, I quickly decided rugby was not for me...

I remember the old shirts that said "Give Blood! Play Rugby!"

 

played a few weekends with the college team during their off season just for fun...it's a lot different from football, that's for sure

i still don't understand all the rules, but i had a blast

 

I played the entire time I was in school and I was on the school team. I was a forward and played second row, #8 or sometimes a winger. Its a great game to play and you'll have fun. The only injuries I suffered besides bumps and bruises were a couple of broken fingers but I saw quite a few broken noses. We took the game very serious and were very competitive but If your playing for fun them it wont be quite as brutal.

 

Play Lacrosse!

 

lacrosse is for girls, play football. j/k

 

lol Lacrosse > Football in athleticism

 

Maybe where you play it

 

i dont get what that means. is it supposed to be football+athleticism=lacrosse

 

Yes lol jk. Lacrosse beats(or is greater) in athleticism than football. As in, its more athletic

 

lacrosse just has more running. i was gonna play but i had to get a job. you should have seen our team it was just the football team in a different uniform. we were more worried about layin people out than scoring

 

Thats how it was at my old school. The coaches for the football team and lacrosse team were great buddies so they let the football players join the lacrosse team for offseason training. It was kind of cool to be defensive team mates with line men.

 

what school did you go to. ever heard of coral shores

 

Yes I have, have you heard of NB(North Broward) Prep? Thats was my old school.

 

ya i think we played you guys. you guys have an artificial field
