Hey guys,

Rugby’s on, but lookout for a blog post around 5:00.  If it’s raining more than lightly, I’ll have to cancel.  I think we’ll be fine though. 

Otherwise, it’s the usual Wednesday drill.  Meet at 15th and Constitution at 6.  For those who are willing and able, feel free to arrive closer to 5:30 or so. 

to explain the importance of Wednesday rugby to a group of softball and flag football players who rise and sleep under the blanket of athleticism that only ruggers truly provide, then question the crazy game we play.  I’d prefer they just acknowledge our awesome moves, and exceeding level of fitness, and went on their way.  Otherwise, I suggest they pick up the rock and stand ready.  Either way, I don’t give a damn what they think sports really are and the field space they’re entitled to. 

Are we ordering a Code Red for Wednesday rugby?  Let me know if you’re in. 

See you tomorrow, thanks for replying! We may be down a ball so feel free to bring one just in case.

Team as we stand now, we’re very thin on players for tomorrow. I know a bunch of people just show up but please take 10 seconds to respond with an “in” if you can make it. Otherwise if we don’t see the interest, we won’t call the game.

Who’s in?

We’ll also test interest in setting up a mini tournament with the Columbia Touch team sometime in September (we’ll take a quick poll to see what weekend suits everyone). They’re a pretty strong side so let’s get in some good touch practice this Saturday in preparation!

We’ve got sufficient players today.  Actually, given the last few weeks I feel like we’ll have 15-20, so we have more than enough.Notes:

1) I forgot my ball last Saturday, did someone pick it up? 

2) Some people mentioned last week coming earlier to Wednesday rugby, closer to 5:30 or so.  If you’re keen, go for it.  I usually arrive a bit before 6 myself and wouldn’t mind seeing a few faces already running, passing, setting things up, etc.  So if you want to come early, that’s fine.  I’m not going to stop you.  This is America.  Live your life…

Or, just respond to the blog with an “in”.   We’ve got some Brits on the way out, so let’s send ’em off with a good showing tomorrow. 

Temps and weather are looking great too!

Team it’s that time of the week again. Who is up for touch rugby this Saturday at 9am? I’ll leave you with this short video with some thoughts on touch rugby by the Wigan Warriors (UK rugby league team).

See everyone today at the Wednesday field (15th and Constitution) at 6!
