Playing Rugby ?

Question

years ago when i was about 8 i played a few matches for a local rugby union team but for some forgotten reason stopped playing. now at the age of 15 i fancy taking it up again, would this be suicide (in terms of the fact that i am more physically adept at playing football although i do remember being a wing when i played rugby) or a good idea.

Answer 1

Suicide- maybe, Good idea- h**l YEAH! If you don't play rugby in your teenage years with open rules, contesting  scrums, full contact, 15 a side, 80 min game then you're missing out on the opportunity to gain vital experience of the greatest game on earth! There's nothing more fulfilling than a great game of rugby, and if you're physically able to play then join a team and get amongst it!

Answer 2

You're 15 years old? You can do whatever you want. Do both if you can (football and rugby)! Whatever transition there is to make, it will happen quickly at your age.

Answer 3

d but rugby is like riding a bike..you will always remember it...I started playing again when i was 15 and went on to be one of my highschool's top flyhalves and place kickers...believe me,15 is a good age to start playing again.The game isnt as rough and you now get the oppurtunity to improve your skills and get used to the contact...So start playing your age man..Go for it!

Answer 4

Join your local side as soon as possible mate. The training will get you back into shape, and you'l soon be back to form if you work at it....Rugby's a true team game where the aggression is controlled and focused, it'll get you ready for real life...

Answer 5

you should start playing rugby again because when i was 4 i started playing rugby till i was 10. i really loved it but there wasnt any clubs near me that would take girls so i had to stop. but whenever i go back to nz or aussie i always play rugby and i pick it up so easy and im dont have a very good stamina. give a go again and if you dont like you can always quit.

Answer 6

sure. it's always a good idea to get knocked around, loose a few teeth, and break bones you never knew you have.
