Nute Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I’m in the far south too, but every 3-4 years we get a good dump of snow…makes riding a bit difficult. And of course as we don’t have equipment to clear it we need to wait until it melts or the local farmers clear it.

Dog included for scale We do occasionally get snow but don't ever remember it being that bad. I think there was an event in the 1960s. I think for my situation living on narrow peninsula has an effect on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play rugby with a guy we called the BNG, he thought it was for Big Nasty Ginger, it wasn't, to us he was Big Nosed Ginger. Obviously not to his face as he was an evil fucker on the pitch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did too, played across the front row for 25 years or so. Tighthead was my favourite position, more opportunity to be an awkward fucker. Age, experience and sheer bloody mindedness, all a props friend. Being strong is a factor but being vicious and sneaky are too. I miss rugby, last time I played was when I was 42, 59 next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind your opponent up and he will spend more time trying to hurt you than getting his technique right then you have him. I agree though if you control the looseheads elbow, clamp his arm, break his bind he is going up or down, if his feet are wrong, and it's your penalty, also he won't be able to stop you boring in on the hooker ruining his day. A good tighthead will give your team a massive advantage, it's why they get paid the big buck nowadays. You will take a few digs for it but dominate the front row, charm the ref, and the games is yours most of the time. Especially in the lower leagues. Look at Julian Whites showreel. Some bleddy boy even if he is from Devon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
