Wednesday Rugby is Back!!

Hey guys,

Now that the sun’s out later in the evening we can start playing Wednesday rugby again.

I’m not taking a survey for this Wednesday because I think there will be ample interest.  So let’s shoot for 6:00 p.m at the rugby field at Independence and Raoul Wallenberg Pl (formerly 15th street, right behind the Holocaust Museum).  It’s the rugby field we played at on Wednesday’s last year for those who attended.

See everyone tomorrow at 6:00!

Rugby’s on, beware RnR Marathon.

Hey Guys,

Rugby’s on tomorrow.  Conditions should be ideal.

Getting to rugby may not be so easy though.  The Rock and Roll Marathon is going on tomorrow so expect metro delays, and traffic re-routing.  I’d suggest riding your bikes if you got them.

We’re on for 9:30 a.m., at 17th and Constitution as always.  Just maybe leave a bit early so we’re not starting at like 10:00 a.m…

See everyone out there.

Rugby’s still on, if you’re into it…

Hey guys,

I didn’t realize it was going to snow…

Frigid temps plus snow make for an unideal outing in my book, but I recognize some people are into playing rugby in this weather, so I am not cancelling.  I won’t be out there, but more power to those who are willing and eager.

Again, there was decent feedback yesterday so I think people will show up. Just expect numbers to be on the lower end.

 

Super cold tomorrow. Let me know if you want to play.

Hey everyone,

According to the forecast we’re in for continued frigid weather.  Tossing the rugby ball might feel like catching a block of ice.  Yet, some of us are crazy brave (or phony tough) and will play despite the utter lack of warmth.  If you fall into either of those camps let me know.  If we get enough people who are in for tomorrow it’ll be game on.

Rugby tomorrow and Six Nations

Hi everyone,

I think the snow on the mall has melted away over this mostly warm week.  That, plus a relatively nice day tomorrow suggests conditions should be suitable for play.  Unless anyone has been down to the Mall and knows that the field is in poor shape, I think it’s safe to say we can play tomorrow

9:30 a.m., 17th and Constitution.

The Six Nations tournament will be broadcast this weekend for those disinclined to play but who still want to enjoy some rugby.  The last few times we’ve gotten together to watch we’ve headed to James Hoban’s in Dupont Circle.  I suggest we continue that recent tradition.  If anyone knows the schedule for tomorrow please respond to this post.

FYI, I won’t be able to attend either.  Expect fewer dropped passes at rugby, and less ill-informed commentary during the tournament.
