I’m not sure how you guys were playing rugby :)
Maybe, because Americans are used to being armoured when they play football, they do things on the rugby field people who’ve played it all their lives never would.
It’s a rough sport and there is a potential for injury certainly, but it’s nowhere near as inevitable as is being claimed.
I’ve played regularly for... good Lord, it’s 40 years now - and I’ve been injured a total of about seven times.
I do love a win for the good guys........
You said what I should have said.
Thanks for setting me right. Sorry for any confusion.
You may be right about it being rougher in the US. I did not hesitate to use some occasional Tae-Kwon-do or combat Judo when needed.
Ah....The Joy of Hitting....miss it.....
The reason for the ban is that these have been being sold in sporting goods shops for less than £100, and are converted to fire live ammunition pretty easily.
What you are left with is a pretty poor handgun, but it's become the 'gun of choice' among young gang members in England, because it was so cheap and easy to obtain.
Other starting pistols which can not be easily converted to a working gun remain legal.
I agree (by the way) that English gun laws are ridiculous and insane. They're just not always quite as ridiculous as people think.
Sulman should be sent back to that third world $hithole that he crawled out of, DEAD.
Yeah, I played in a pickup match against some US navy sailors back in the late 1970s.
The first half they were destroying us, by slamming us so hard in tackles. The second half, we regained our own because they had now become much more cautious as they realised how much that hurt.
Looking at his name he is an Iranian jihadi. ‘Azar’ in Persian means ‘fire.’ ‘Sulman’ is another derivative of ‘Suleiman.’ This infidel opened up a can of whoopass and gave the Muzzie a counter-jihad he’ll never forget! LOL!
Mr Richardson, in hospital yesterday after breaking his arm in a rugby match,...
Ah, now we get to the heart of the story. I was waiting to read that he was shot in the arm during the scuffle. Pretty funny really.
I always played with this thought in mind:
Like music, an elbow to the throat calms the savage breast.
God bless him!
What a guy
Wonder what charges he’ll face for attacking the robber?
The CCTV may have a clock?
Wouldn’t you think that prices for illegal drugs would be lower here than in the UK?
And Australian Rules Football players say you Rugby players touch each other in the scrum - and like it.
Notice the “one arm chair to the head” move..........Whoa!
Never broke anything, those were fun days!
It was a fake handgun, a replica.
