July. Just July.
Well done guys, it looks like we're all at the same tentative stage. I did my 5km, and it did me back. Report on its way up later.
Rugby is a game I've never quite managed to love, despite being made to play it at school.
Let's rephrase that.
Rugby is a game I've never quite managed to love, because I was made to play it at school.
As a player, I could see the attraction if it was a warm-weather, less aggressive sport. It could never be a non-contact sport or it wouldn't be rugby of course but I don't understand the need for crunching tackles and rucks and mauls and everyone leaping on top of the poor fellow with the ball. Especially in freezing temperatures.
Mind you, I have enormous respect for the way they conduct themselves (with one or two odd exceptions). What a staggering irony that a namby-pamby sport like football produces so many people pretending to be mortally wounded by the slightest contact, while the full-on aggression of rugby does the opposite.
Er, anyway, I didn't come here to opine about rugby, so I'm going away again.
