Rugby is a dangerous sport and i love it

So we played 2 games today, we lost both, the first was a good close game. We lost just because we made some mistakes at just the wrong times. The second game was a blowout but not because of how we played. The team was dirty. In the scrum they pushed me up and out after trapping my neck multiple times. We had a brother go down with a broken nose. We played the best game we have played as a team but then it took a dark turn when one of my best guys broke his ankle.

There are moments where i wonder why i play this game. I wonder why at 37 i choose to play a game that literally leaves me limping , then i am with the guys bruised and bloody after battle and i feel alive.

So we lost two we play 1 or 2 more tomorrow. All our subs are broken now so its straight play till we fall. Will we win, maybe, will we have fun and be a team of brothers? Hell yes.
