New Orleans Rugby Match
This weekend was pretty good for the most part. I left at 9 a.m. on saterday morning headed for new orleans, not to party, but to play. I had a game at 1 p.m. that afternoon against New Orleans Rugby Club. They are one of the best teams in the matrix aka conference. Their field on the other hand was horrible. Since it had been raining for 2 days straight before the game and New Orleans being so close to sea level the field had a good bit of muddy mucky water on it. As well as half the field had some grass in it that was atleast 5 inches tall and thats hard to run in. Other than that the game went pretty well even though we lost (which we expected). As a kid did you ever play in the mud sliding across it, jumping in it, and rolling around in it. Well thats what it looked like a bunch of grown men playing in the mud. When you got tackled you had to hold your breath so you didn't suck up abunch of water. With the field being so wet, the fact that it was still raining a tad, and we were so muddy the ball was dropped so many times. I dont know if yall know anything about rugby but when the ball is dropped sometimes its called a knock-on and you have to have a scrum down. A scrum down is when your 5 biggest players go head to head in a strengh match. They toss the ball in the middle and the hooker (#2) which is me has to reach his leg out and grab the ball with his foot and move it toward the back of the pack with out anyone touching it with his hands. Well needless to say these are quite tiring. With the ball being dropped so many times we had a scrum down like every 2 minutes which after awhile became quite painful. After the game was over we were bummed that we lost, but glad we got to play. The game is an addiction, that is almost as expensive as drugs, and almost as dangerous. After a few minutes of sitting on the sideline shooting shit about the game SELW (South Eastern Lousiana) came and asked if any of us wanted to play for them due to they were low on players. For some odd reason my addiction kicked in and i went for another 80 minutes. With just as many scrums and just as much fun. I was lucky though I came out with no injuries other than a few bruses and scrapes. The injury report for the day amongst my team was 1 pulled groin, one broke nose, one cut eye, 2 lost contacts, and more bruses than you can count.
