Olympic slowdown!

[di]

The front row of the scrum, quite painful to be honest, especially if the second row lifts aswell as drives.

I always believe that a good scrum is one you come out of with stars in your eyes, I played loose head which means I don't have those cauliflower ears.

To match the flowery beard!!
Not really any the wiser!!

Oh, who's been pedantic now, have a look at this, the picture forming a scrum, the props are positions 1 (loosehead, cos his head is free) and 3 (tighthead cos his head is trapped!!)

here watch this

The second piccie looks like fun!!Other than that I'll have to admit to still really being none the wiser!!Sorry !!

Come on then what bit don't you get?

So you're waiting for the games to start at 2;00~so that gives you approx 2hrs & 10 mins!!





All of it!!

[Mikey]

Oh I get it, the bit you don't get is not how its played but why its played!!

FG: why couldn't I have found a man who didn't like sport when I lived down south???? We could have been chums - out partying whilst the sporty ones were - well doing what sporty people do I suppose.

it's not too late ...........

i'm not into watching sport on telly, but i do cheer my son on in footy and join in with other dads at training and we're not golfers, but pitch and putt is fun ..........

i hated that beard it was really scary ...... rugby union is good, all those hunky men in cute little shorts who cares why they are doing it ...... don't like the cauliflower ears either.

I doubt it she don't lve in bedfordshire, she's been known not to get up once or twice, but thats cos she's afraid of fresh air and the way it sticks to her clothes!!

ok just read the other threads and di, this is for you!!

the PROP - in my female defenition!

A prop does eactly that, they prop up the scrum for a scrummage, i played a tight head (but wore one of those lovely hats!!) and a also played hooker the hooker in the middle is called this because they hook the ball with their legs in order to get it back to their side, behind them!

i started playing when I was 32! one of our lcal teams wanted a team and my sis, I and a couple of others met up and played against lots of ladies, but we never won, because we were older ha ha and not as fit, but the best bit was after the matches!! ha ha !! the lads always supported us and it was great fun, but extremely exhausting.

Then I became pregnant with the twins and couldnt do it anymore, too many rough tackles! I was never the fastest runner thats why i was a front row, also being that I am not the smallest girl and rather strong! I did play once after the having the twins (6 weeks later, in fact) we played a charity match against a bunch of medics from the hospital - from maternity ha ha! so i asked for my 6 week check on the field!!!! lol!!

i so love watching rugby and Bedford Blues are great to watch and a great team spirit as well, oh and the Magners at the ground is good too lol!
