# 18 out of the 22 players on my rugby team got mumps
in the same week! Sharing water bottles was blamed.

your rugger team cheat.

# 22 on a team, 15 on the pitch at once.
It's the way it's been for ages.

# Squad and team aren't the same thing.
Squad is everyone that can possibly play. The team is the 22 players that go to a match.
15 starting players and 7 subs.

# 7 subs.
I mean, yes, if you are the Chiefs, but other than that, it's just posh.

# Blimey.
15 players, a front line replacement and two additional reserves is all we ever got.

# Yeah it's like that at school but never club.
We've got at least three full teams for my club.

# After I was chucked out of Millfield at 13, I never played for a school team.
I played for Crediton until I went to Uni and then for my regiment and my division, before going back to play for South Molten when I left the army.

I guess that living in cities makes a difference?

# I wouldn't know. I've only just moved out of a tiny
backwoods/backwards village into a small town. I've always played for school though.
I prefer it to club to be honest. It's more relaxed.

# I lived in a rural area.
I couldn't play for school or I'd miss the bus.

Chulmleigh Community College has a 30 odd mile diameter catchment area.

# I used to have a match wednesday for school,
then I'd have to catch a bus for an hour and a half and run to get to club
training on time or I'd be joining the far and away club for being late.

# I am 6'2" and 200lbs
I still cannot understand how locks manage - but I made a pretty decent flanker for a while there.

I am too old now.

# locks aren't human, thats why
i've yet to see any proof that locks and props are made of the same things normal humans are.

# I played prop until I was 7 or 8.
Then Flanker, then Hooker (I was 5'1" when i was 16) then Flanker again.

# i was a prop
at the same age, only ever played against one team though and they barely came to my waist despite being the same age

# my dad was a lock
back in the 60s/70s though when you o'bedlamphant would've been too big to play scrum half.

dad is 6' 4" though
