i played both codes , it was a pain the arse if you were an outside centre having to keep swapping to each side of the field ,
Yeah - I played a bit of outside centre at school many years ago and that's my lasting memory of that position - the amount of running from side to side you had to do to get into position...
...and playing outside greedy bastard first (especially) and second fives who rarely sent the ball down the chain.
I played games where it was like fielding at fine leg in cricket! Except it was fucking cold and you occasionally had to tackle some bastard.

Or if you made a decent run and your looking for a break to get your breath back in the line , then someone yells at you to get back in position , on the other fucken side of the field

@kiwiinmelb every flanker ever read that and gave a sneer of derision
-
@mariner4life At least, the ones who can read did.
Now get back to groveling in the fucking mud and stop interrupting our intellectual discourse.
-
@Chris-B. "intellectual discourse"? Is that what you guys are doing while the rest of us are playing rugby?
"No, we don't want it until it's quick ball and there is no one in front of us, you guys keep it"
"okay now! shit, I've dropped it. okay, scrum for them, we'll have a bit more of a chat"Parasites living off the hard work of others
-
@mariner4life Acute tactical appreciation.
"Look at those two stunning babes on the sideline. If you drop the ball on the 22 line, we should be ideally situated to flex our manly backs' muscles at them, while the peasants fuck about collapsing their scrums and rubbing each others faces in the mud".
-
@Chris-B. yep, and after the game while the forwards are having a quiet beer reflecting on that ruck he didn't hit hard enough, or the tackle that was almost slipped, the backs are out there preening and congratulating one another in front of the women claiming the game was won by them!
-
@taniwharugby Which it obviously was - through "magnificent speed, strength and skill".
"And what do those fat boys do?" she asked.
"You mean other than take up space... ha ha ha...".

Massive long shot, but it turns out I'll be in Auckland for the weekend of the third Test. If anyone knows of any tickets for sale, or any way of getting them, I'd be all ears.

To change the subject slightly, has anyone who got their test tickets via the ballot received them yet? I know tickets for the non-test games have been sent but I wasn't sure about the test tickets. There is still a month to go though.
What tickets have gone out? I haven't gotten any yet.

Whether it was or wasn't the backs end up looking up the skirt of some hotty while the forwards look at the bottom of an empty glass.
I never saw the problem. -

I never saw the problem.just bided our time...waiting for the backs to, er, drop the ball so to speak.
Anywhoo, got my tickets for the opening game weeks ago, have heard lots of people yet to receive them.

We haven't received the Chiefs tickets yet. Really annoying.
