If I missed practice there was a good chance I wouldn't get in the game on the Friday or I would only get 10 minutes at the end. Eff that.

When I started playing thirds it was rolling subs and a lot of fun. Not much fun any more.

Yeah there is no need for that. I use to make an effort to show up on Thursday, half to get a run in and joke around followed by a beer. I have been lucky both my clubs that I have played 3rds for are understanding.

This is the first year since I was 17 that I haven't played rugby. Now at 46 I am gonna try some old boys to see what that is like.
