CW Rugby XV

[Goughy]

After it being mentioned in the big/small little/tall thread, what would a hypothetical CW XV look like?

So be honest, only those that would play a contact game of Union should put their names down.

Im a League guy but Ill use Union as more are familiar and we can get by with less athleticism in Union

Put your name, height, weight and list 3 possible positions (try and be realistic about where you have played before and put the most favourible first)

Lets see if we can form a team out of what is available.

Kev Gough. 6'1" 105 kgs. (1) Fullback, (2) Wing, (3) Centre

[NUFAN]

Rob Bowen 6'4" 107 kgs 1) lock 2) Number 8 3) bench.

Rugby was the only sport I was any better than "all right" at, mainly because being big with a tendancy to violence is a virtue. Played district and county in my youth. Still have the scars on my knuckles from me twatting an opposing hooker in a bit of afters.

As a kid I used to play lock (I was 6' tall by the age of 13), but, as my bollocks dropped at a precociously early age, I hardly grew any more after then and consequently moved back thru the scrum to no.8 & then blindside flanker.

Played league at uni (pretty hard to avoid in Hull), mainly at prop and second row. It's a far less technical game than the senior code, but you do need to be much fitter cardio-vascularly speaking. It's pretty relentless.

Play as either blindside flanker or in the centres if they are short in the back depo. I've never really been anything more than OK/Decent at rugby, I do enjoy playing though, I just prioritise (sp?) Hockey over it.

I played wing for six years because i could run fast and was hard to get hands on. I then moved to full back for a year after finally deciding it might be a good idea to tackle sometimes and having a stylish but not-overly-useful Dan Parks-esque kick action which led coaches to overestimate my kicking ability.

I was never much good, bar the odd wonder-try that quick tiny people always come out with on occasion. I went to a massive rugby school who win the Ulster schools cup nearly every year but i spent the whole time in the middle-ish teams feeling a bit pissed off that i was never given the option to play football.

[Smudge]

Voltman - 6ft, 85kg - fullback, first five, wing (bit slow for wing)

[Goughy]

So far 6 players. 3 fullbacks, 2 flankers and a lock.

[NZTailender]

183-5cm, depending on flats or heels. About 70kg currently. Guess winger, or something.

Never played rugby in a league or anything, just with mates after school or during school when we could get away with it (tackling of any sort was banned). Good times.

[99*]

6'6 and 230 lbs.

Played #8 at high school and can play in the centres if need be.

[Jamee999]

6'2, dunno how much I weigh, play loose head, #1.

[PhoenixFire]

Bit of a tank, is Gray.

[ripper868]

ripper868 - 181cms, 75 kgs
1)Halfback 2) Fullback 3) Flanker

Still feel that we could get a decent team....if not skillwise at least shapewise

Brumby for coach

The Team so far:

1. Jamee999
2.
3.
4. Nufan
