Well, looks like I have to quit playing rugby

Had to hang 'em up at 26 because it kept exacerbating my two herniated discs. Who knew that playing in the front row would lead to problems with spinal compression?

Of course, it also caused the two herniated discs, butt hat was in an informal game on the uni lawn, so that doesn’t count

Who you callin’ “butt hat”? :mad:

ONLY three concussions? Come on man, you’ve got more left in you!

One guy on my team has had 14 concussions and has been dropped by three insurance companies.

A guy at our club had to give up at the start of the season because he’s nearly lost sight in both of his eyes playing. The doctor told him another heavy tackle and he’ll be blind. On the other hand, a guy at my old club in my village has been banned from playing because they thought he’d die on the pitch. He moved to another club where he plays every weekend. He’s in his 70s.

Damn! Sucks for that guy. I only have six or seven, can’t really remember… What were we just talking about?

That is badass.
