Isn’t Attwood 100% PNG?

To me it’s feeling increasingly wrong to be watching talented young athletes heading towards a future of uncertain health outcomes.

Stopped playing at the end of last season, definitely drifting away from the game now.

Do it!! Yep especially if the body feels up to it!! I played until I was 46/47 and would have carried on longer but for a buggered scaphoid bone. Even managed a final season of 1st team rugby (very junior level) when I was 42. You'll be too long retired!!! Both of these. I will be 46/47 this coming...

Preseason started last week - not too much fun!

Wow, that takes me back, was a popular underage drinking haunt back in the early 90's!

That whole Gloucester back row was superb. Great to see 12T performing effectively.

Not playing, in between matches, representing Surrey a couple of months ago....

A river I used to fish, at this time of year, a Barn Owl would appear to perform her evening round right when the sedge started to return to the water to lay their eggs. Was pretty amazing to be stood thigh deep in a river watching her as the trout started to switch on the the sedge 'event'. Wonder...

One of the largest flocks of UK ring necked parakeets roost at Esher Rugby Club. And yes red kites are thriving, a massively successful reintroduction.

Have read the article, will listen later. Does not appear to support the ECB narrative from the time....blame it on KP

I'm having a little comeback this year and playing my second game for Camberley Vets tonight. I think I may have finally found my level I am playing in the other half of the Surrey Vets league, now finding that I am taking longer and longer to recover between matches! Enjoy the game tonight, who ar...

err controlling head movement for starters...

It would only have any impact on whiplash impacts. Most concussions in rugby appear to be the result of direct impact to the head.

How is having a strong neck going to minimise the movement of the brain within the skull?

Joe Marchant in with a shout at 13?

Was the title decider for the Surrey Vets League, no other club fixtures that day.....the balcony above that lot was rammed.

Barnes were 'that' much better than us on the day (as they usually are)

400 m for men tonight, last on the schedule. Hoping for another great performance from Wayde. IAAF won't let Makwala run :shock: Sorry, I am one of the 'dullards' on the forum.

It’s quite normal to not like some pets, particularly small dogs, but having no affinity for animals definitely marks you out as a wrong ‘un. Anyway, cats are nature’s comedians. They are also much easier to keep and more environmentally friendly than dogs. If the slaughter of song birds is now dee...

Has to be option 1. Only other option being to roll up pro athletics and forget about it for the rest of time.

Starting XV is decent lots of potential attacking threat, not entirely sure what AWJ is doing in the starting line up but there you go. Shame he has gone entirely conservative on the bench, particularly with the backs.

Winning only one mid week match after the 1st Test was a bit sub-optimal!

Thanks Enzedder, much appreciated. Given that is Carling in his own voice the reality must have been impressively shite.

dogtanian

Can any of you guys give the low down on what happened in '93 in terms of the touring party and how it, apparently, disintegrated. I know that the Lions made a fair fist of the Tests but I have seen a fair view oblique comments that various players went 'Off Tour", especially within the mid week ens...

dogtanian

The weird thing for me is that he told the Lions Committee in advance that he would approach the Tour in this way and they still appointed him.

Just an incredible talent and to think that she wrote quite a bit of her work in her teens. She was just 13 when she wrote Man with the Child in His Eyes. Crazy.

Played SH from mini’s all the way up to 13 when a kid who really could pass joined the school. Got shifted to 12 and enjoyed that, played there all the way up to 26 when I hung up the boots because of the age old family / work commitments conundrum. Returned to the sport at the age of 36 and have be...

Play for as long as you can. You will be a long time retired and the reality is you never know when your body is simply going to tell you to knock it on the head. 47 now at hooking at level 8 tomorrow, playing for as long as I'm able Great stuff, I can't even imagine keeping up with our kids that a...

Hill was fantastically important. See what happened to the Lions in 2001 when he had to retire injured.

Bumped into Haskell on a shuttle bus to one of the Gatwick terminals a few years ago. Jumped on the bus with the family and he and his partner were the only people on board. He had his back to us but instantly knew it was him just from the size of his shoulders. Had a really good chat with him and h...
