[QUOTE="Saintjay, post: 479732, member: 55969"] Great thread. Ok two things that involved me being stuck on my arse. A thought that may give some people great pleasure :D When I first learnt to play rugby it was at Queen Anne High School in Scotland. Hence my soft spot for Scottish rugby and the great David Sole. Anyway due to being the wee english fella I was normaly put at full back. The coach gave lessons in catching the high ball as "Elbows in and palms to god". Needless to say during one game the opponets full back. Who was the U13 equal of Serge Blanco kicked a ball so high it came down with ice on. Remembering my training I squeaked out "Mine" and adopted the elbows in palms to god stance. Everyone then stood in awe as I jumped in the air like a scottish salmon, then letting the ball slip straight through my hands. The point hit me square in the mouth with bits of blood and gum shield flying I landed on my arse. The ball looped into the air without touching the ground and was caught by the other team. I was subbed and so began my career as a flanker. A good few years ago I was playing against Olney RFC. Who had a rep for being a little dirty and full of hard lads. So my team were some what surprised when they took to the pitch wearing pink and grey. We had never faced them and at the time pink was not a rugby players colour of choice. As the game went on various on and off the ball fights broke out. Just after half time I was in the back line defending and as all good flankers I was just about to smash the centre running at me ball in hand. I got down low eyed up the area I was going to hit and just as I was about to launch, the centre stopped dead in his tracks. I looked up at him from my very bent over position and he hit me with a right cross that would have made George Foreman proud. Hitting my square on the chin. I don't remember much after that I am told all hell broke loose. The moral of that story is don't say things to hard people about their mothers. Or to be more exact what you did to dear old mum Friday night before the game. [/QUOTE]
