I used to play in college. I'm 27 almost 28 now.
After I graduated there weren't any men's teams near where I lived in Southern California, so I haven't played actively in ~6 years or so. I recently moved up to Federal Way, WA, though, and I found a local men's club down in Tacoma.
I actually played in their 2nd-side game after the 1st-side match last Saturday. I had a blast, even though I came away with a bruised rib that still hurts. I was wearing one guy's boots, another guys socks, still another guy's shorts... and it was POURING rain. I was absolutely COVERED in mud at the end.
Tonight is my first full training session with the team and I'm looking forward to it. We have another match this Saturday and I really hope this rib will stop hurting.
Since there will likely be very few people that actually play, we can also use this thread to discuss the basics rules of rugby, if any of you are curious. Average Americans don't really understand the game, I've found. Once it's understood, though, the game is really fun to watch and play.
Cliffs:
1.) Play rugby.
2.) ????
3.) Profit.
