Touch Rugby

I’ve had fun over the last few months playing on the HealthLink touch rugby team. We suck, compared to all but two of the other teams in the league. But it’s great fun. Prov joined us for the two Thursday evenings he was here.

The rules are pretty simple compared to real rugby, so not hard to pick up. Pass the ball backwards, be sure to pass if you’re the dummy, stay onsides and try to stay with your man on defense.

The most important lesson for me, athletic-wise, is that I can’t run fast or change directions hardly at all, and when I try either of those, it hurts.
