Thank you Jamie.

Thanks Bill, Old Gaelic was espically tough. It is too bad we met them in the semis instead of the finals, they should be going to Nationals with us. Wing Forward(flankers to some) is probably where I will end up, but we have a great #8 and 2 very solid flankers already. One is out for the first 2 rounds of nationals, so I will be starting at #7 in South Carolina. I am also pretty good at prancing, so get a little bit ouf time out on the wings too.

It is Rugby Union, I don't think there is really any League in the US. I don't think I would have taken to rugby league as much as I have taken to union.

Thanks SirJames. Now I spend time kicking myself wondering why I didn't start 5 or 6 years ago. I have always know there was a local team, and someone at the gym use to always try to get me to come out, but I didn't know how welcoming they would be to a newbe. In January I got tired of the recreational-ness of the local soccer league and showed up at the first rugby pratice of the season and told them I was there to learn to play - and they were happy to have me.
