I normally don't do things like this - Rugby player of the month
 

But my 2nd cousin has taken over for the injured Joe Simpson for the Wasps in the Rugby Premiere League as a scrum half.

Since that time they have been on a winning streak - They won at Sarcens, Bath and Harlequins (all tough opponents)

His Name: Dan Robson

He is such a good kid - Respectful, determined

I'd love it if the Pelican faithful could help give him a little boost for Player of the Month (you have to vote) Might even put him on the radar for the England team - which I think he's also deserving...

Done!

BTW - he's had several tries during this run too - Thanks!

I LOVE rugby... I wish they would televise it here more in the states and stop trying to shove soccer down our throat. (putting on flame suite for the soccer fans)

I like both - I think you have to play soccer to get a real appreciation - sort of like baseball - there is a lot that happens away from the ball.

Thanks everybody -

Rugby players are real BAD ASS'es.

Get ready to chuckle....I was the Hooker for my club here in jersey! Voting done.

Rugby, American...

Here's one of his epic tries when he played for Gloucester

Nice try! I miss the days of the white shorts and collars.

..36 inch thighs:eek:....don't let him drive your S2 if he comes stateside

His girlfriend drives a Porsche - good seeing you last month Bill

Just to update - He's been starting most of the year (was out a week with a calf injury)

and the Wasps are sitting at the top of their league! He had a great game yesterday and had a try (available on the NBC Sports App)

In addition to that - he's been named as one of the England 35 to train this fall

That's AFL, Australian Rules. An athletic game of skill, beauty and arcane rules. Rugby is violent. They tape their ears to their head to prevent them being torn off, and they have no necks. It is often described as three huge gorillas trying shove two more gorillas up another gorilla's arse.

What game do you follow Stuart?
Watch some good international rugby and enjoy.

Yep:
