rugby

Post by tasha »

who thinks it's the best sport in the world?
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

I saw my shools junior team play a team from Wales. They killed us. It was some amazing rugby. My team picked a guy up to catch the throw in, then one of their guys jumped up and stole it right from his hands, and he was still being held up by the other players. :uh:

I was gonna come in here and post a Friends quote about it, but then I realized there weren't really any great quotes about rugby in that episode... at least none that I remember.

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

A girl from a high-school rugby team once offered to teach me how to play over the summer so that I would join the team next year. I'm pretty sure I'd be horrible at it - I'm not exactly a sturdily built person.

You don't need to be sturdy. Small and fast is really good.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
