"You can take rugby seriously, but you must not take yourself too seriously.”

Wise words that form the ethos of the vets #touchrugby community.

Tomorrow at midday we will remember Eddie Butler, Welsh rugby icon and poet, with a rousing round of applause.

Rest in peace Eddie.

Love this : G of @chepstowgold.

A choice of losing a leg or removing muscle mass after an accident gave G no hope of playing rugby again. Until that is he found his new #touchrugby family in 2021!

[YOGITS TOUCH RUGBY CLUB @YogitsRFC]

It’s @touch_cup week. The bi-annual vets touch tournament that brings the top sides in Wales together. The next tournament is this Saturday at @chepstowgold and they will host 12 clubs, strictly over 40 years old. Can we go better than our previous two plate victories?

Steve from the @PontySaxons has it nailed on. #touchrugby helps "develop family, unity and bond". The Saxons are definitely fun to be around especially when they have "that loving feeling".

Come up to @CHEPSTOWRFC (24/9/22) to watch the Saxons play and hear their dulcet tones!

Wise wise words from Eddie of @RiscaVets (Risca Cuckoos!) .. #touchrugby is a fun game for EVERYONE.

Looking forward to seeing the Cuckoos at @CHEPSTOWRFC this time next week!

[Renaissance Touch Rugby Cup @touch_cup]

@SquidgeRugby We should be :
- Proud we beat SA on their soil
- Happy we did not get the pasting most of us thought we might
- Encouraged to see new talent coming through
- Very disappointed to lose the series

Work to do but plucky losers we are not.
