Chaps,

Obviously a fair few of us have knocked around the game over our years. So lets see your positions. We have quite a few ABC members amongst us, so I will run up a 1 ... 15 and just put your name down on your position. We shall see how many of what we have. And Derek as our token wing smile Ive served my time in the ABC and Lock, but mainly at Lock and its my preferred place.

I played one game in my school's U15 3rd team, and broke a finger after three minutes by falling over a flag. Feel free to drop me if anyone else can do scrum half. biggrin

If you are going to have an Op get the BEST man you can afford. I foolishly went NHS for my first 2 operations (going through the Scotland and Lions physio) to rebuild it. It took a further 2 to get it done properly....something I regret...painfully to this day.

I'll put myself up for any position that doesn't require knees. Or much knowledge of the laws.

So I'm the ref then.

I've not played since school, but put me down for full back, mostly due to a willingness to tackle anything or anyone regardless of the effect on my good looks.

I play lock mostly, but can also play anywhere in the back row. I've even played wing a few times before too. hehe

Oi I'm 6! Well I was at Uni level & all the way up.

I guess I'll deputise at 7.

Looking to get back into it now.

Z4Chris - may I ask when you were at Brunel? Had a friend in the rugger team a couple of years ago.

Can't say I played a LOT, but I could play 6,8 and 13. The latter was my favourite though, less violence hehe

We need some chunky buggers for the front row.

Hmmm. Was going to put myself down in the 2nd row but already taken, so my 'when I'm fit' position is no. 8. DJRC or egg chaser, fancy swapping at half time?

Couldn't someone read out this thread to potential front row players? Or maybe convert this thread into pictures.
