| Funniest Rugby Moment: |
Watching Bracey and Matty Taylor having a full on row on the pitch after Matty threw a bullet pass into touch and then claimed Bracey should have been there. The pass was about ten yards off target! Matty apologized after just to be met with another barrage of abuse from an irate Bracey. Any time teammates argue I cant help but laugh.
Another good one was from my younger days. We were rubbish and had to borrow a player. That player then went on to knock out his opposite player with a blatantly high tackle, the boy was out for 5mins and turned out to be his brother. Good days. |
