Forecast to be 16C and blue skies......which is better than anything else we've had over the last 2 months.

Not that you've been moaning and whinging like a little old woman about it.....

I think it's time you called it quits Rich.....your body's telling you enough is enough.

Erm that is still to be tried, I can walk.....just but will have to just keep to the RICE protocol see how it goes but I was able to drive home after the game so I don't see why I'd not be able to drive a wagon

But I don't know that I can give it up just yet, my head isn't in the mindset that I'm broken but you are probably right I just don't know what would or could fill its place im not that old

Dont worry, you wont really suffer until you get old and all that injury comes back with spades.

Nothing can fill its place because theres nothing else like it but that doesnt mean you wouldnt get into another sport and enjoy it, just takes a bit of time to adjust and get good at another discipline. I don’t think you’d find that part difficult, sporty people dont have much trouble tuning into another skill set and rugby involves the majority of the necessary transferable skills- balance, speed, strength, stamina, eye hand co-ordination, strategy, I could go on.. oh look at the length of this post..I have  

I’d put in a small plea that you find something low impact though cos active people don’t take it very well when they cant be sporty anymore. You gotta look after what you got with the idea you’d like it to keep working for as long as possible. Trust me when I say ex sportsman arent a lot of fun if they dont have a sport to pursue.

I'd agree with the not alot of fun when I cant play rugby I get aggy quite quickly guess because for 20+ years I've always had that outlet without it there's no outlet for said aggression the only other thing I'd want to do is race bikes......I'm not in to stamp collecting or playing cribbage there literally is nothing else I'd want to do

You’ll find summink when you really have to.

If its competitive, then it involves aggression, combine that with physical exertion and it takes on a life of its own, it’ll be enough to release the pressure. Maybe not at the beginning but once you get into it it will.

But if rugby means that much to you then you shouldn’t give up cos other people think you should though, that’ll just make you sore in a different way!

If you want hard physical activity and impact then get into the type of stuff that @Sir Fallsalot does!

A lad in work is a rugby fanatic I've lost count how much work he's lost to injuries playing. A few years before covid he started riding motocross a far more dangerous sport than rugby you'd think but didnt get any injuries he started back playing rugby and within two months he had a dislocated shoulder his younger brother was the same
