It’s only been 4 years since he played. I think he could handle water/towel boy duty.
One thing that caught my eye is the water boys in rugby. They trot out during time-outs and dispense water like you’d think But they have headsets on and many look to be 200 lbs or more. In fact they look like rugby players. Besides passing water bottles, they’ll have long talks with key players on the team. Since the coach is not on the sidelines, but is up in the stands, the water boys relay the coach’s instructions to the team.
Interesting, thanks. Maybe that’s the way they do a “practice squad”.
