My BFFs girlfriend comes running off the field towards my wife and I, holding her face, and says (very calmly) that she thinks she may have broke her nose. She takes her hands away from her face and her nose has a triangle dent like this < and is pouring blood. My wife and I just stare at her. Then my wife kinda yells YES IT'S FUCKING BROKEN. And this woman feels her nose and just pushes it back straight. Flares her nostrils and says, Eh, I can breath, I'm fine and returns to the fucking field. This is normal rugby behavior.
My BFF was the coach and she was fucking this girl, so she wasn't going to get benched. Also, puking is a big no-no until well after the game and maybe 3 hours into the party. I've never felt so unsafe for everyone involved than at a girls rugby party. I once did shots from a 12 foot long beer bong that had to be filled from the second floor at a rugby party.
Unless you’re King Ritchie McCaw and it’s the final of the World Cup against France in NZ and it’s 77 minutes into an 80 minute game and we (NZ) are leading by 1.
RC had a yak on the sideline in between plays lol, poor fucker was dead on his feet but no way in hell he was leaving that field, short of being dead, but even then we’d have revived him and sent him back in there.
I mean, y'all are kind of famous for rugby(I'm in the desert of America and don't even follow rugby and I know about the all blacks, word gets around lol), I get why they'd keep going lol.
I believe that’s known as a “pre-existing condition” so doesn’t count lol, kidding, yeah he busted a toe I think in the 2011 super series and hid the injury from the team and doctors etc, refused to get an x-ray done because once that happened it would have to be disclosed.
My guess is he felt obligated to be on the field as the captain and as such put his health 3rd to the team (1st) and the country (2nd).
It’s probably also why he is now Sir Richie McCaw, the MF earned it IMO.
But have you ever had to drink out of the garden watering can for a party foul? Because it has been filled through the post match party with a little bit of everything…and I mean everything.
Watering can sound like an upgrade from shooting the boot tbh. At least you’d be able to feel confident that those curly hairs definitely weren’t from someone’s ankle.
wait, wait, wait, slow down. youre like starting one interesting story after another here… lets back up a bit and start with the top one. …so, your bff and the coach, go on…?!
It ain't about coaching. It's just straight up different breed and mentality. My cousin is 5'4" and 130 lbs soaking wet. She's also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a rugby player, and mother of 2 boys from her 6'3" Nordic husband. I have a big head, but those boy's heads make watermelons look small.
I was playing a rugby game as a kid in the snow and was feeling a little cold. Asked the coach to sub me back in so I could warm up but when I went on I had a hard time staying up. Ended up going to the paramedics to get checked and it turned out I was hypothermic, I swear when you're playing rugby you just don't notice that sort of stuff
I'm known for running around with injuries like nothing happened (to the point where a male co-worker nearly fainted when he heard my broken rib scrunch together). Maybe I was a rugby player in my former life.
Shades of the legend that is Sir Wayne "Buck" Shelford
"Was a notable victim of the infamous "Battle of Nantes" in the second Test. Roughly 20 minutes into the match, he was caught at the bottom of a rather aggressive ruck, and a French boot kicked his groin, ripping his scrotum and leaving one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth in the process. After discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physiotherapist to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed"
