H) Moxie; I'd like to think I had great legs, but at 57 years of age they have all on to keep me standing at times! Most of the players that I coach however have excellent pins, unfortunately some of them - being Italians - think it trendy to shave / wax etc. I just think they look rather effeminate for rugby players, however.... Vanity rules!
Oh my giddy aunt!

Shaved?? Waxed?? Ugh. Was about to hop into my car but I'll give it a miss until they get hairy again...Sorry this is not the best rugby chat you've ever had is it? Just wait until Spacehopper joins the group he plays still even though he is ancient! Think he coaches the littlies too...I'll keep you company until somebody that appreciates more than Rugby player's physiques arrives :) Hope to see you at the BBQ for L'Aquila?Mox

Hi Mox; don't know anything about the BBQ for L'Aquila; where will it be held? Wre've already sent a collection via our club - Legio Picena - and I've personally sent a load of kit etc. to Paganica Rugby. We also charge all the players 5 euros to take part in the touch tournament, and taht may well go to the earthquake fund. Personally I have a few mates that play at L'Aquila, and their strength of character is incredible. One - actually an Ital/South African; wouldn't leave the zone even when told to as he was so involved.
21st June near Amandola
