Great read ..... played 7 once apon a time against Stephen Jones (the welsh 10 not the try to be reporter) i can't remember however if i ever caught him? what i do know is that i still have a sore shoulder into my late thirties and he walks funny.... is that another thread - pro players you played against/with ?

Not yet, perhaps you should start one. It would be interesting to know who on here could cut the mustard so to speak.

Could be a good thread!

My list goes

Micky Young
Manu Tuilagi (First time i'v ever been ran over by a wing!)
Callum Green
Will Welch (Knocked me clean out)
Tom Catterick
Joel Hodgson
Joe Ford

and a few lads playing for Tynedale now

@Driver; you played against Manu?? Blimey. Who was this for??

I was playing for West Hartlepool U18s at the time against a touring school from Leicester which was mainly Tigers acadamy players and North of England players we got twonked in short.

I was playing openside at the time and covering my 10s inside shoulder and he came charging up off his wing and took the short pop and ran over the top of me and towards the try line.

Poor show driver, poor show !

I don´t like to blow my own trumpet but I´m breathtakingly average.

I don't envy you for having to try and tackle him. He's a machine, and I can't believe he's still only 20. That'll be a hell of a story to tell the grand kids!

I think theres still a body cast imprinted in the floor of me.

Great effort either way!

Chris Hydnman aswell who used to play for Northampton

I played for Percy Park as the local invitational side inthe Newcastle 7's.

We played Newcastle (tony underwood etc) , Leicester and Saints( who had a certain Tim Rodber playing for them....

We actually did pretty well....and scored the try of the tourney...and my claim to fame is i tackled Rodber coming head on at me....

Do Percy Park still do the 7s? or am i thinking of another club up that way , might be Morpeth

Driver stop making excuses you should of tackled him!

Holy smokes, I am away for a day and this goes off the charts. You guys are awesome.

For the English 12 go Doctor_Grey (he can play 10 as well from his earlier post).

Yes, I prefer playing inside centre, but can play at 10 in a pinch.
Regarding your earlier comment about me being biased against opposing teams if I am on medical duty, I was going to object strongly, citing medical oaths and all that. But, in fact, I have to agree. I have always thought a hearty dose of a muscle relaxant adminsitered to the opposing team's pre match meal would be a real kick in the pants..........

Am sure I've forgotten loads of people, or have got them all in the wrong position, so let me know and I can edit it out. We still need a bench too!

i will cover backrow on bench ussually a 6 but can cover 7,8 or if desperate second row

Thought as much

i want to become a doctor also- if that counts
and i have first response award!!!!

On the flip side, we have a friend who tells the story of a school match. Blues most useful/dangerous player went down with an injury. One of the Red parents runs onto the pitch and examines him. Lots of tutting, sucking of teeth and shaking of head follows. Then he says that the Blue player must be taken to hospital immediately.

Thing is, the Red parent had not so much as a first aid badge from the Scouts to qualify him to make any such judgment! Everyone just assumed he was a doctor!

Got away with it too!

Bench: Welshy824, SubsBench, viewtothegym, taffineastbourne

Put Subsbench on the bench, it's his home from home.

I guess I'll take up my usual seat, I mean position, next to Welshy.

Doh! Beat me to it Glas.

not sure how I managed to forget you!
Edited in now

Rory G is the worst no.8 since Nick Easter.....

But he shore can handle a meeeean geetarr!

Works for me. I need a partner in crime.

Glas a du, where do you think 'England rugby fan' would fit into this? As a waterboy or the guy who is hated enough by both teams to recieve 29 shoe-ings! (doesn't have to be on the wrong side or even on the floor). You know what chuck in the ref and touch judges studs for good measure aswell!

*EDIT: Glas, this was actually meant for Gatts. I keep getting you guys mixed up...

Can you really not help yourself kid? It is becoming a strange obsession now to bring me up every time you can.

You have good taste

Started out at hooker now at preferred position blindside, can cover 7 or 8 thou if needed.
6ft 15st11lb 32 years old pretty fast over 20 yards, 100meters in 12 seconds not bad for size and age.
Called it a day last year but will come out if retirement for 606 team.

Good hands and can kick to a good standard out of hand, strong in the tackle and im ashamed to admit this after all the cheating jibes i throw at Irish rugby but im pretty good at obstruction and spoiling opposing ball at the break down,

Weakness in discipline,i.e if a back has me for pace i may go in with a high tackle.

So can i make the team?

cracker!

No, your too conceited View.

Morgannwg, paid a becso, I've been called worse on here, Metal Tiger thought I was a M...Mun...Mu...M...Muns...a Thomond Park fan.

Glas a Du nowt wrong with a man who backs himself

Blwdi hell!Didnt make the Welsh side and I've played against JPR,Gareth and Barry!Might convert to England on residency!!!

View, Taff: edited you both onto the bench

Victim of ageism and antimyopia.Feelings have been deeply hurt.The English selectors are on the phone now.The bench is a cold place to be.I used to be pretty average in my day,you know!!!

The English dont want me either.Not enough vowels in my name apparently!!!!!!!!!!!

ahem I dont think playing me at 10 is going to do anything for the welsh attack, kicking game, place kicking or distribution, and no Im not Dan Biggar.

If you are Dan Biggar may i recommend you wear an ankle weight on you left leg it will help stop you crabbing across the pitch

6 or seven. Filled in at 8 once or twice. Made a cameo on the wing as well, wasn't too pretty.

Late arrival to this thread, Hooked for my local team from the age of 7 to the age of 22. ACL damage forced my retirement. However I am nearly finished my IRB examinations in preperation to start coaching.

Jeez Radge, Real sorry an ACL would take you out of the game at 22. No other options at this point? The operation is not so bad anymore, but you do need to rehab quite well.

On the plus side, we do need coaches for our teams! We have beaucoup players, but no one giving direction. Unless someone tells us where to go and what to do, we might start drinking early...........

If these boards are any example, there´ll certainly be no shortage of people telling other people where to go Doc!

Oh yeah. Good point.
So we need coaches, referees and mods for our teams.

We also need to invite some out of work journalists from the NOW and Western Mail with time on their hands, to write up the match reports, once they have finished covering the aprés match antics.

ah, I see you want the real highbrow journalism. NOW would probably start their article with a comment about a farmer giving birth to an alien.

Doctor, I heard that did actually happen in English/Welsh Hill Farm country.
The mother produced a ready made prop apparently, poor lady.
