Addendum: Rugby cont.

As some may be able to tell I have been writing most .. nay 100% of the posts.. but Eugene will appear from time to time so look out for it =) hehe.

I was so excited about writing about my experience playing rugby I forgot to mention the really cool thing about LBS is that partners are allowed to join any of the clubs, including sports, at LBS. So while I was playing with the girls, Eugene duked it out with the boys. Now while I was pleasantly surprised to find that size wise I was pretty on par with the other girls. Eugene found himself with 6ft or approaching 6ft tall guys with broad shoulders... well let's just say they were big and in that linebacker not O line big way. To his further surprise the guys who showed up kept saying that all their really big guys didn't even show up. Therefore Eugene is debating whether to join or not, afterall guys rugby is tackle...

However I think Eugene would be quite good because one of my classmates came up and told me "your husband is really fast" and Eugene told me he was able to intercept the ball (impressive given you're only allowed to lateral in rugby) and ran it for an almost try (basically a rugby touchdown)... almost only because he mistook the cones and stopped before the line (think endzone) ... which in rugby if you touch the ball to the ground without being touched by the other team it is an automatic turnover.
