Joshua Rivera
This will help the British lads negotiate all these strange-sounding places.
Luis Parker
Any Plan B for 10 June match in case of sismic activity?
Chase Gonzalez
If Dan "7 scotches neat then hit the streets" Carter isn't playing, it's just not relevant.
Carson Nelson
plan A is seismic activity lad
weaken the lions AND get rid of the poosaders
double whammy win-win
Thomas Perez
Yeah we'll host the Poosaders at Eden Park. Literally a home advantage for the Lions.
Carson Powell
Soon.
Robert Reed
Don't worry, it's a top 14 match, I'm sure there are plenty of nz players involved.
Jordan Hughes
None that make the cut clearly.
Mason Williams
this is now a dubs thread
Jaxson Bailey
Payne out and replaced by Daly on the bench
Payne confirmed for being the player who sticks around for almost the whole tour nursing an injury but never actually plays just like Kearney in 2013 and Halfpenny in 2009
Jayden Reed
>pro 12 player of the year is Ireland's brave Charlie Piutau
Nicholas Gray
This was some enjoyable elite rugby knowledge
Cooper Wright
Shit lads, just got put to lunch. Some huge fuck ups. Not good timing with the long weekend.
Tonight will be a long one and I am not looking forward to Tuesday.
Ryder Bailey
whats for lunch lad

the sea is right there lad
Easton Baker
Dear /rug/, I'm moving to a new place and they have an adult rugby team - one of those "any skill level" kinda deals. I've never played rugby before but I've always been interested in it.
You all have any suggestions for newbies? Workout regimens, stuff like that?
Ryan Allen
that water's salty though
Nathan Perez
Grabbed some sushi from down the road. I was going to take it back with me and eat while trying to get ahead but decided I need a break.
Adrian Hall

Angel Martinez

Hudson Roberts
What kinda body type are you? Do you have any experience with other ball games?
Joshua Watson
just go there and be willing to learn
do more cardio
Charles Hernandez
This
Easton Gomez
>What kinda body type are you? Tall, broad shoulders, pretty average build and a decent amount of upper body strength (firm hand shake, usually called on to help with heavy lifting shit if I'm helping friends, etc.) - but I have asthma, so my endurance isn't the best, and I'm not very fast. Plus I'm not very flexible.
>Do you have any experience with other ball games?
Yeah, I played gridiron football and baseball as a kid but that was awhile ago. I used to bowl regularly (which actually did help with my upper body strength a little bit since I use a 16 pound ball) but I got a bad case of the "poor" so I haven't been able to go too often lately.
Jonathan Peterson
I figured cardio would b the best way to go. Like I said () - my endurance has always been shitty. That's the thing I worry most about.
It's a new game and I only have a general idea of the rules so I'm looking forward to learning about it. It's not on TV too often here in America but the few times I've watched it, I thought it was pretty cool. Plus I had some friends in college that played and said it was the most fun they'd ever had.
Zachary Young
Well depending on how tall you are you sound like you might make a good lock, or failing that a wing. Also in conjunction with cardio you should hit them squats. Core strength would be a plus too.
Adrian Ortiz
If you still have those friends (or any that would be interested) around just going to a park and passing / kicking a ball around will help. Building up some basic ball handling skills will be very valuable early on so you aren't starting from zero.
Ryder Campbell
About 6'4". Lock seems pretty good. I have pretty good hands (though that's in regard to gridiron football where the forward pass is legal) so I think I could do that.
Thankfully, I'm moving to a place where there's a YMCA. I am super out of shape and the only reason why I'm not breaking the scale is because the job I'm leaving paid literal starvation wages (made less than $14,000 at it last year).
Actually, along those lines - any advice for keeping a good rugby player's diet?
Cooper Reyes
i would put you in lock or number 8
done much wrestling?
Aiden Reed
Yeah, they're still good friends of mine but I'm moving away so I won't be seeing them much longer. I was thinking of saving up some money and buying my own ball - maybe running with it under my arm for cardio or practicing drop kicking.
Brayden Gonzalez
Naw, none of that. Most I've done is play pickup football with my buddies when I was a kid. I was always the biggest one out there so they'd just hand the ball off to me and I'd bulldoze my buddies over. It was pretty fun but that was a long time ago (haven't done that in about 10 years or so).
Logan Kelly
You're a lock to start mate. Definitely. Get better with ball skills, tackling, breakdowns, pilfering, all-round knowledge etc, then become loose forward master race.
Xavier Clark
>diet Meat and veg. Just your standard "healthy" diet. Do some calorie counting to slim down/ bulk up
A ball doesn't have to be a good one. Just something you can catch and pass really to keep handling skills in check.
If your running with a ball please don't be an autist and do anything more than some sprints. This www.coachingtoolbox.co.nz/skills-and-drills-intro sort of thing could be of use. It's not the one I was looking for but should do the trick.
Leo Hall
Sounds good! Thanks, guys. Like I said, I don't know too much about it but from what little I've seen, it looks like it's a lot of fun and all the rugby players I've ever known are bro-tier.
Connor Harris
run it straight g you're a prime back now
Brody Lee
Don't forget your boomfa.
Mason Taylor
>Aviva premiership player of the year is unironically Jimmy "1 cap for the junior all blacks" Gopperth
Charles Williams
He wears black for his victims.
Leo Scott
>save up for a ball
They cost 30 bucks mate. If you buy 25 of them you get them for 350 total.

Luke Watson
You talking in USD? can get far cheaper than that on amazon
Cooper Thompson
involuntary kek
John Turner
Blues by 40 lads.
Asher Garcia
Get a Gilbert and train with it every day, this superior ball can cut clean through the air because of the renowned torpedo punt kick and spiral cut-out pass techniques, and is vastly superior to any other ball on earth
William Foster
*does a haka*
Elijah Watson
There goes that motherfucker always ripping my gimmicks.
Brayden Davis
Gonna have to start registering my memes lads.
Dylan Jones
>save for a ball A Gilbert practice ball is $20 here, so 15USD. /rug/ will literally give you the money for a ball mate. Also, get a fucking job.

It's the ultimate battle of blue team vs red team lads.

Jordan Lewis
I reckon it'll straighten back out a bit again next year. Should be top team from each conf (3) then the 5 next best on points. Well I fucking hope so anyway.
