A Prop's Life

Whenever a doctor tells me something I do not want to hear

Whenever a doctor tells me something I do not want to hear

Whenever I see rugby featured in a commercial in the US

When people ask what makes a great rugby player

When a forward goes on a breakaway and has to run more than 10 meters

When I decided I wanted to play 7′s competitively

When 7′s practice is starting and I realize I haven’t worked out since the 15′s season ended many weeks ago

When I tell people that tackling in rugby is safer than football

Getting hit in your first rugby match

When rookies come to me for advice before their first match

Trying to get my spandex off after a match

*”I just feel like a workout isn’t over until my legs can no longer hold me up, you know?*”

After two hours at a social

When someone tells me they don’t watch or play sports

When someone asks me to describe my teammates

When you jump into a match after some time off

What we probably look like to the rookies during drills
