The musings of a Lower League Rugby Union player. Shedding light on the highs and lows (and banter) that comes with the lifestyle

You’d think championship rugby had orchestrated an invasion of Ukraine with the amount of sanctions it has imposed on it

[Telegraph Rugby @TelegraphRugby]

Exclusive: Premiership reserve teams to play in Championship under radical RFU proposals. @danscho1 reports.

Plus, why the plans see the second tier once again being treated with disrespect bordering on disdain.

Me: I have a bachelor of Engineering and an Executive MBA from CASS business school. I’ve also got a few years of work experience under my belt. I just want something unpaid for my day off

Why is rugby special to you - in 5 words.....

We’ve started training in groups of five.
I still go 80 mins without touching the ball

Just discovered ‘https://t.co/8UtR75AKr7’ didn’t realise you could actually apply for jobs. I just thought that everyone else also relied on the empty promises of national league DOR’s

my Nat 4 club president set up a shell company in Jersey a few years ago to hold all of his assets during he’s securities fraud lawsuit. Last season he flew in 5 kiwi lads and paid them all a salary of £80k. They’re all employed by the shell company and have no visa issues.

2) Unfortunately the black and white nature of visa regulation, combined with being at a club that I felt prioritised meeting an English player quota resulted in me not meeting the required threshold of games played, a visa rule I was uninformed about.

Streamed a replay of the ‘03 World Cup Final last night.

Jason Robinson’s footwork could leave me on read, Not text me back until 2 weeks later, and I would reply immediately.

Day 4 of quarantine.

Haven’t done a cardio session in 6 months.

[Lower League Rugby Player @LowerRugby]

I’ve watched 4 replays of England v AllBlacks in 2012, a YouTube compilation of Nigel Owens best moments and Manu Tuilagi punching Chris Ashton. I’ve cleared the backlog of House of Rugby & Rugby Pod. I’ve written a body weight weights program. I’ve started drinking at midday

[Lower League Rugby Player @LowerRugby]

For the sixth year in a row, I planned on retiring at the end of the season. But maybe a 5 month off season will be just long enough to ‘rekindle the flame’ and make me forget how utterly shite rugby is

@RoryJennings @GaryWrightCeMAP @GaryWrightCeMAP question: how many seasons in the champ on a £13k salary will it take me to save for a deposit on an investment property in SW London? Nothing fancy, just a little one bed apartment will do the job.
