[WarriorPL]

WOW, someone finally decided to post about my favorite sport, dude DO IT!
Im 16 y/o and started playing it last year, it took me a few monthes to learn it all but it was worth it, i was co-captain of my schools team last year instantly, and will be captain this year, yeah im that good! you need to be phucking strong and fast (like myself) and youll be fine, and being short has its advantages, i was born to play Rugby!

Buck, with your size, you would definately be a forward. You may not be fat enough to be a prop, but with your build, more likely a flanker or a lock. There are several rugby sites online. Do a websearch and look for the rules and postions, concentrating on the forwards. As an aside, I hope you don't mind another guy hoisting his arm up between your legs in order to get a grip on your shorts This is needed in order to get a good bind in the scrum , the tighter the scrum, the easier it is to push the opposing side away from the ball. Pads???? who needs pads???

He's 250, a sprinter and you want him to be part of the
pack????? Are you nuts???

And a prop/flanker to boot...Haha They're normally slow
players.

Go for wing(I'm assuming you're FAST. I mean 11.2-12.0s
100m times and FIT.)

Full-back(What I play) wouldn't be your style as you need
exceptional kicking capabilities.(I play soccer competitively)
However, If you can kick 60+yards w/ both feet and
drop the ball within 5 yeards of a picked spot then go for
it. To play Full-back you have to be VERY fit. You have to cover
the ENTIRE Back-side, and on offense you're right inside
the wing.

And get ready to be injured. I mean stepped-on, kicked,
punched, speared, you-name-it. Rughby games can get
CHEAP. I once saw a player get drop-kicked if you can
believe it.

Party-wise, after-game beer-a-thons normally get VERY
OUT of control. Specially when the oppossing team happens
to come in for a drink too........LOL

Rugby is MORE vicious than american football. Be prepared
to fell VERY TIRED. 60minutes non-stop running =
2-3 STRAIGHT football games.

It is fun though.

I played rugby for the Oxford Harlequins U-21 here in
England but I don't have any experience playing
rugby in the US. Canada yes, but the US; no.

Godspeed

Yes, I'm fast. I ran the 100m and 400m relay (as well as others) in HS. I can't kick that well though

I'm very surprised that May hasn't provided us yet with some Witty response to this one...

OOOPS, shoulda asked you how fast you were before I made position suggestions. Since you are fast, go ahead and try out for a back position. I'd hate for your first rugby experience to be bad because of a position/talent mix up. Have fun!!

Havnt seen too many 250 lb wingers (besides Jonah).
The real men play in the pack!

Socal red division rugby is very competitive and serious. What team does he play for? OMBAC is located in San Diego and they are one of the best teams in the States. We play those pricks twice a year. I play for Newport Beach.

We start practicing at the end of October, and the season goes through June.
