So as most of you would've realized by now I play rugby... die hard fan and love playing the game.. it does get brutal at times but I still love it... I read or heard from somewhere " Football is a gentleman's game played by thugs, whilst Rugby is a thug's game played my gentlemen" interesting statement init hehe.... anyways we have matches coming up so we've been having practices these days... got one on Thursday against ACHE - American College of Higher Education and then another most probably on the 19th against SLIIT. gonna be a good season but hectic with uni lectures n shit.... coming back to the topic today was hard.. had to practice in the rain and the grounds being wet and all... by the time we were done.. we were all covered in mud n muck lol... and on top of that we did tackling as well..
Now I love tackling.. theres no greater feeling than tackling someone and making sure its a nice solid tackle hehehe.. but today with the rain and the soggy conditions oh man its hurt.... I think I bruised a few muscles and have alot of scrapings.. you try tackling someone twice your size and you'll know what being hit by a locomotive feels like... not pretty sight... buggers shoulder rammed against my nose.. then later on I got tackled from the side... I think the bugger knocked against my calf muscle.. hurts like a bitch now although I dint feel anything at the time then... did manage to get in some good tackles as well... over all had a great practice... thursday's match should be an interesting encounter... can't wait to play that match =D...
Reason for this post = "I'm hurting right now.. but its a good hurt I guess.. keeps the emotional demons at bay :)"

Man I LOVE rugby too!
Where do you play?
When I was in SL I was a big supporter of KSC (being from Kandy, who else would I support? LOL) and have watched the club season continously... from about 1990...
Great to have another rugby fan!
Good luck for the next game!
Interesting!!!
"Keeps the emotional demons at bay"....Awesome no!
I lurved playing in the rain! It's like mushing around in a... a... paddy field or something.
@ Sach - thnks man... i play for my uni.. or institute.. hehehe.. ya man got a few cousins playing for Kandy SC but im more of a CR & FC fan.. hehe.. colombo kollo :)..
@ Lady D - like i told u hon.. watever to keep ur mind occupied and not think about that other person.. atleast this way im too tired even to think about her.. :)
Who're your cousins? I might prolly know 'em...
Still cheers for a rugby fan... we belong to a special breed man... LOL
well u know the entire malay lot hehe... fazil marija, buksh, nilufer.. although buksh doesnt play for them anymore...
oh ps. yeah man i agree with u.. we are a special breed...
Oh man you are from a special family!
All three of them are good, but I admire Nilufer a lot. While the other two (three in fact if you count loku bucks as well) take the glory, Nilufer has been a very reliable and hard working player.
Jeez missed the rugby season this time around... first time I missed it ever since I started watching...
