It's stemming from the stress around waiting for a decision from the University on whether or not i'm getting a scholarship and therefore acceptance

May 26 is the last day

My live will really come to an end if they reverse this on me, what can I do boys?

would rep help...

guys im dying, no training for me today. It was my last student night out for a year last night, so i went out and got hammered with all the rugby boys, was good bant, it is quite possible that the social aspects of rugby are better than playin at times!

To those of you doing Bill Stars madocw 5 x 5 where you puttin gyour sprinting in? For me if im squatting 3 times a week it doesn't really leave any time for your legs to recover if you sprint on top of that or does it?

How much is too much for your legs?

Well seen as I found out today they gave it some a Centre from British Columbia instead of me and I am now utterly devastated I don't see how it could hurt

Don't see much point in continuing one right now since rugby was all that I had going for me

**** my life

Really sorry to hear that.

It is easier said than done, but keep your head up and keep moving forward. Rugby provides alot of opportunities, just because this door was closed, another will open. Save up some money and come out to Australia for a season. Can hook you up

Work, party and play a higher level of rugby then go back and take some names.

Um because may 28th is the last day to accept offers of admission

And I was rejected at the other schools a while ago, the scholarship was the only way I was going to get into a university and now thats gone

ruga buga · 05-23-2008, 11:25 PM

Just a thought, maybe think of going abroad and playing some rugby? aus, NZ, sa...

Yeah for some reason he is an assistant coach. Considering he was a good head coach before he went to Scotland, doesn't make sense. The team he's with won 2 years ago and made semis last year, so massive drop.

Hi guys i need some advice on rehab training.

I made a misstake during a scrum att a game last sunday, with a broken rib as resault. My doctor says i can expect at leas a mounth before i can do eny contact training whatsoever. What i wold want to know is what the hell can i do during this time. I figured i will be hitting the exersycle hard for a couple of weeks. Can enyone recommend exercises i can do (both gym and onfield) to sustain my training level and weight?

I guess this will be a good oppurtunety to work on my endurace buth its crap that i will miss most of the summer season.

rest it... i popped 2 ribs off my sternum 6 weeks ago now and there is no way i could do contact yet - well i did dislocate my clavicle too...

what did the doc say to you???

Secutor · 05-24-2008, 11:12 AM

After having told my story symptoms and after palpatation my doctor decided a x-ray was unnecessary. She assumed its a minor trauma att ither the 5,6,our 7th rib (the last thre that are connected to the sternum.

The trauma is just to the left of the sternum, if it hadent been at teh cartilagus part it might have been much whorse.

She partley suspected that it might just have been a manipulation. Wich was a very stupid thing to say because thursday morgning i was in so litthe pain i thought i wold be ok. After trying to carry a box dont to the basement i was bed ridden for the rest of the day with wiolent musle spasems and cramps all down my left side, LISTEN to your doctor!

The pain has subsided to that low numb lightley throbbing kind that you can at least live with. Do you think i cold hit the sycle tomorrow, i REALLY suck att being a patient i want to train damnit!

I'm pretty sure he coached premier grade (gps club) to a premiership. But I may be mistaken.

ruga buga · 05-25-2008, 03:20 AM

What a great game between tolouse and munster, that is easily the best game I have watched all year...

Heymans counter attack was superb and I think munster loose forwards really played out of their boots...

WELL PLAYED MUNSTER!!!

MAK69 · 05-25-2008, 09:42 AM

Hey all ruggers! Just found this thread. Our side took first place in all of New England this year for our division. Pretty pumped about that. 7 of our starting players (including me) got invited to try out for regional teams. Pretty successfull season I'd have to say. Haha. How was everyone elses seasons?

That was ridiculous

He hit him with the side of his boot for goodness sake Quinlan would have barely even felt that
