Hello everyone, my name is Linda. I just picked up Rugby last week. I am so new that I haven't got a clue what is going on just yet but I am still playing in my first tournament in two days. No better way to learn the rules then getting in there. I decided to pick up Rugby because I play roller derby and I struggle with my endurance there and I thought all of the running in Rugby would help to increase my endurance in derby and serveral of my derby team mates are on the Rugby team as well.

    I've been playing for a year and still have a clue what's going on half the time haha! I do know that it's a good workout though :) What position are you playing? I'm normally a flanker

    For fifteens season we haven't really determined who will be playing what positions but I am short, chubby and a slow runner but I am pretty strong so I will most likely be a forward. I played in the last game of the sevens season last weekend and played Prop.
