Between us we made a good player and were telepathic! Playing Weaknesses : I played rugby when fly halfs were a protected species and to prove my point they have now reached endandered species status. Tackling was for guys who had to to stay in the side! Especially if I was captain! I can tackle but they are rationed! |
