Love the game. Played from university into my mid 40's when the recovery time increased exponentially. It can be a brutal game at times. Saw plenty of injuries(and suffered a few).

Nothing like an open field tackle from the side as arms are raised to make a pass or dummy. Big impact and you can sometimes hear the air rush out of the lungs. And, usually the ball becomes available. Some of these gals(?) can flat out play

Thanks for the post. Helped me remember why so much ***** hurts every day.

Be watching the Six Nations games shortly on Peacock.
