So the first Saturday in 2014 doesn’t look like it’s going to be the most rugby-friendly day.  It’s supposed to be about 29 degrees in the morning, and snow will probably still be on the ground from Friday.  In my glory days, snow on the ground meant rugby was mandatory.  Now, not so much.  I’m old, and so are you.  The thought of fierce cold and snow sounds like the opposite of delightful.  Still, I ache for rugby, and I know you feel the same.  So maybe we should satisfy our yearnings and play despite the crap weather.  If you guys are down, I’m there with you.  Who’s in? 

Sorry guys, haven’t got the numbers! See y’all in the new year!

Given the cold weather I’m going to take a punt and suggest we play at 1pm, when it is warmest. Should be 50F by then. Any takers?

See you out there @ 10am tomorrow!

BTW, I have a flat ball. If you have a ball and/or a pump, pls bring it along. In fact, pls reply to this post to indicate if you will bring either along tomorrow.

Cheers!

Any more people keen to play tomorrow? C’mon, don’t be afraid of commitment….

I neglected to say in the previous post that te game will be @10AM, as usual.

… Santa gave you some kick-ass weather to come get your touch rugby on! Yup, its gonna be a scorcher at 62F. Gadzukes, you might even need your sunscreen.

I realize some of you may be heading home over the holiday season… But there will be touch for the few, the proud, the hardiest of souls willing to stand up to the slow tide of history and shout “NO, I WILL PLAY TOUCH RUGBY THIS SATURDAY!”

Those who are in are urged to reply to this post by saying “PAIN IS TEMPORARY. GLORY IS FOREVER.”

FedEx Field speculated as a potential venue for NZ vs USA rugby match next year…

FedEx certainly looks like people have been playing rugby on it. Just ask RGIII …

Hey guys, this was a tough call, but the cold weather, strong chance of rain in the middle of play, and minimal stated interest led me to call the game.  

Hopefully I’ll see some of you tonight at Wences’. Feel free to complain about not playing today then 🙂

Hey Guys,

The weather’s still looking iffy and numbers are light.  That doesn’t bode well for tomorrow, but I’m not calling it just yet.  If the weather (and the forecast) holds up tomorrow morning we might be okay.  Be on the lookout for a post around 8:30 for a final decision!

Also, Wences is having a fiesta tomorrow where poker will be played and tequila will be imbibed.  He’s extending the invite to all you ruggers, so if you have a free night tomorrow, come on over!  Contact him or me if you’re interested in coming and we’ll send the details.

Fun times start at 6:30.
