Malt 379 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Follow the Llanelli Scarlets to a degree, and used to play hooker for a local team up to youth level and a little bit further. Knees weren't up to it so had to give it up after that. Goes without saying that the national team is the be all and end all for me.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Played from age 8 into my early 30's when injuries took there toll(shoulder surgery)and sadly couldn't play to a standard I was happy with, but being Welsh rugby is in my blood and will watch any rugby though watching my national team is the be all and end all.

Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Second row. Non of this fannying around in the backs lark, kicking it straight out after the big boys have won the ball. Played for Coalville, Syston and a few (11) games for Leicestershire. Knees were fooked so packed it in in '95. Leicester Tigers used to play Syston in pre-season games, used to play their second team at the end on the year at Welford rd too. Had the All Blacks train at Syston in 1991 before they played Italy in the World cup, and we scrummed against them. Very powerful. Didn't hang around after though.

welshphil 185 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I played in the same village side as Johnnyboy for a while(obviously I was way better than him :D). then moved to a different side and played in welsh national division 2, when I finished playing I did the Team Managers role for a few seasons and then became coach of my lads junior team, He plays regional rugby at under 16's at the moment(Dragons) so I spend most of my time ferrying him between training and games! Wouldn't swap it for the world though, it's like re-living my career all over again - apart from the fact he's better than I ever was........ :D 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You always had size on your side you big shouldered brute. Heard good things about your lad, hope to see him playing for the senior Dragons side in a few years and then after that who knows.
