On 3/8/08 it was the first time i ever step back on a rugby field. I was
full of excitement because i haven't played rugby since last two years due
to football. But on this Saturday i was given a chance to play fot the NAU Sharks
B team, which was alot of fun. Not playing rugby for two years kind made
me nervous. But when that first tackle came and i made it, calm me down. Not long in the
game, like about five minutes, and i made the first try,( which was a touchdown in football).
When i got the ball i juked the first man i see, then stiff arm the second dude i see, and
carry to people in the try zone where i put the ball down and we were up by 7. The
opponents strike back fast. And then i came up with a breakaway that resulted into
another try ended up 14-7. Second half came and i was out of it couldnt feel my legs, and out of shape.
Not like football where we have time outs and pauses. No rugby went for 40 minutes non
stop, and the only brake youll get was when the ball goes outter bounce and penalties which were not many. The
opponents came back and won by touchdown but i wasnt up set because i was having fun.
Even though we lost but i was glad that I got to play my first sport again. Well we are playing
again two weeks after spring break. Everyone is welcome, if you want to watch let me know
and tell you directions. I promise those who never seen a rugby game, it will be a good experience.

Hey! thats awesome that you got to play rugby again! I know how it feels to not play a sport that you love for along time and finally get a chance! Does your football coach know that you are playing such a dangerous sport on the off season? I would think that at a school so competitive they would'nt let you. Anyways, be safe!
wow rugby sounds way intense!! i have never really seen or heard much about rugby before. im glad that you got to play it again tho :) hahah and the part about you being outta shape lol i know exactly how that is...it stinks that you cant just be in shape ALL the time huh? like in high school i was so active and always in shape but now...ha ha if i tried to play basketball again i think i would DIE!!!
