Laurent, would it not be cheaper to buy a wetsuit and cut out the good bits?

I stopped playing now for around 3 years

Not being able to walk properly for 2-3 days after a game lost his shine...

To be honest one of the (many) reasons for me hanging up my boots was looking at the state of the Vets players after a game. I played a friendly against Chiswick vets in my last season, complete mismatch, but they were a good set of lads and I was chatting to my opposite number who I reckon was early 50s and he was in absolute tatters in the bar afterwards and watching him shuffle and limp about carrying a pint with arthritic fingers just made me thinnk 'I don't want to be like you'.

Id hope so. Having a senior club that only plays Golden Oldies but plays like 1st year seniors trying to smash old men was a little hard to comprehend and not in the social spirit of Golden Oldies. Which was why I didn't enjoy it.
The muted type of play that is, rugby is hard to play socially. Plus it was too like league with the line outs and scrums not contested.

kiwigreg369 · Post by **kiwigreg369** » Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:11 pm

It's exactly like league - but unlimited tackles. Essentially if you don't cock up the opposition can't win the ball.

Fridays game = 3*20 min thirds - was played like a bell curve around the half way and within 3SDs between the 22's...

It’s difficult to overstate exactly how quickly I am moving at this point. If I had been on a treadmill, I would definitely have taken off.

Club 60 year anniversary - hopefully picture doesn't destroy.

Two great events:
- one of the old boys came wearing his t'shirt making the 10th anniversary
- he did an upside down skull to start the boat race
(Note - the bar is named after him already)

Club anniversaries are class. My club is due for their 140th next year.
