Wanted a thread to discuss rugby seriously, having played for over 40 years, including starting teams in unlikely places such as Germany and Uganda.  I'm 59 now, so I guess my playing days are over.  Come from a strong RL area and my uncle is a well known referee in BARLA, recentlly selected for the England over 50s side to play Australia (home and away).  Hope I am not sin-binned for this .  I was always a fan of union though.
