I play rugby often for recreation with my larger circle of friends, though not as often as I used to. Fatherhood has comandeered a lot of my free time. Still, I can usually get a game of that or renegade Football(American) every other week, depending on how many people show up.

I'm almost always a Scrum-half, but I've been a flanker, a fly-half, a center, a wing and even a Number 8. *nod*

I love to watch rugby, it's not so popular here, so I never play it (I don't think it would be that healthy for me either, I think I'd snap in two when I'm tackled)

well, most of my friends like to watch it, but we never really get to playing, you have to be with a lot of people to play a decent game. Rugby7 is also cool and only needs 14 players, but yeah, I'm not really into playing sports, maybe I'll pick up swimming one day.

I used to play at full back and, if I may say so myself, I was more than adequate at my job until my back meant I couldn't play full time, my kicking wasn't so great but I could chase down pretty much everything and everyone.

I loved playing rugby and still enjoy watching it.

I had to go into the scrum once, replacing an injured prop - I have to say, it's a nasty position to play unless you have a head made of titanium.
