[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 981087, member: 45598"] Just to add to this, Toby, it could be worse in a whole host of ways! My first university game was the first game of a under 20 blitz towards the end of October in first year. I'd spent two months boozing and turned up to at most 4 training sessions, I also hadn't discovered the gym yet. I played 10 and looked up to see Joey Carbery who had been a star player in Ireland's elite schools competition the year before and he had Garry Ringrose who had been Ireland's best u20 player despite playing a year young that year outside him, they had at least two other lads who are now playing pro rugby too. We lost 70-0 in a 20 minute a side game. I really half assed the rugby after that for two years, didn't play while on Erasmus and when I finally made the 1sts in final year I got concussed and missed the three remaining games before Christmas which we lost and put us out of contention in the league so I had a bunch of dead rubbers to play in the new year... And that was easily my favourite year playing rugby since school! [/QUOTE]
