I love rugby.
I love rugby. I like rugby because:
-
It is enjoyable and physical and I’m physical.
-
It is fun because you can be very creative in play and almost anything you want to try out is possible if you put your mind to it.
-
It challenges me to be fit and keep healthy so I can be better at my game.
-
I am rugby captain at school so I have to make good decisions and be good under pressure.
I have been playing rugby for roughly 8 years since I was 3 years old!
This is the journey between clubs in my life: Rugger bugs (a club in Saffron Walden that is for 3 to 5 year olds), Wendens Ambo RFC (I played a year up in U6’s and U7’s), Saffron Walden RFC (I joined when I was 10 and am currently at that club). One of my favourite parts of rugby is passing. The way I pass is by spinning the ball with the top hand and flicking my wrist. I am right handed so find it easier to pass to my left and find it hard to pass to my right. I love tackling people and smashing them to the ground. It is so satisfying watching someone hit the ground and knock the ball on. It means you have done a great tackle.
I have mixed heritage which affects my (spectating) rugby a bit. I am half springbok (South African) and half English. My mum is a springbok so I support them and my dad is English so I support England there.
That is why I love rugby.
