February/6 nations

[Incheck]

Is the 6 nations a noticeably quiet time for anyone else? February is consistently our quietest month. It’s looking completely flat at the moment for us. Got 2 weeks coming up with literally nothing happening [emoji54] i have been expecting it as its been the same every year. Thinking it may be due to people spending a lot on rugby days etc. Thank goodness we had a busier january than normal!

Just found out a Kiwi I played with at West Hartlepool, he was a hooker, his son now plays for Bath as a utility back. Have you seen the size of him  :1f632: Different game to when I played.

Used to play in college played few different positions, mainly either blindside flanker or on either wing. Help I was tall, stocky and like a whippet, that was 10 year ago tho... As for 6 nations, England v Wales is always a fun one, as I'm English and living in wales, and all my neighbours and custys are proper rugby nuts!!

It's all these additives they take nowadays. In my day when the old players retired usually within a few years they'd put a few stone on. They shrink now when they retire.

He is training to be a personal trainer / sports nutritionist and wants to work for saracens

Spends 3 hrs a day minimun in gym lol

I think it was the early 90's when it went professional, might have been late 80's. My brother and I were asked to go back to West Hartlepool as they were struggling. I'd ruptured both achilles by then so it was a no go for me but my brother went. The diet and training regime was ridiculous, not really possible if you did a full 40+ hour job.

Rugby isn't that popular is it?

Not like it's the football world cup

 It is in Wales, I personally can't stand football, now more about the ££ than the game, most players are overpaid drama queens. My grandad used to say footballs a hooligans game played by gentlemen, and rugby's a gentleman's game played by hooligans. The amount of fighting that break out is unbelievable, but entertaining.

Lol i think you got that the wrong way round ^ but yeah ive heard the saying

Bunch of football playing namby pamby mincers

Oops better not start @steve garwood off lol

 

[Dave B]

Had a beer with this guy when he was at sarrys and is a very nice guy

Watching his vids is like watching a tackling masterclass

Wish i could have tackled like that when I played

Broke opponents ribs etc when playing but this guy is like being hit by a tank

The premaddonnas are in the premiership, the lower divisions still maintain their pride.

Rugby is for those who don’t have the skill to play football. As the saying goes, you can teach a chimp to run with the ball in its hands ?

whoops, don’t want to upset @Dave B ?

Wrong version for me but you obviously played at a decent level

 

[Dave B]

Just joking with you @steve garwood lol

I used to love watching qpr lose oops i mean play and still like watching Stevenage borough with my son

Lower leagues are definitely better to watch

If only you could tackle like rugby in football it would be ok

How much better would it be if people tackled like this in football

When I played centre half in Sunday league football on blackheath common, I tackled like that every week ?

 I played semi pro for about 12 years, I made that highlights video to send to a few clubs in oz for when I went playing out there
