Today another expat Melinda and I showed up for a rugby practice that happens around the corner from my house every Sunday. It is a Taiwanese women's team and, apparently, they play 7's (a less-popular game with 7 players, instead of the traditional 15) and they play against men in the 40 and over category because women's rugby teams are rare in Taiwan.
Melinda had showed up to last week's practice and told the coach that I was coming this time around. When we arrived, he took down our ID cards and said he was going to put us in the register for the next game. The team is in desperate need of new players. We got our practice jerseys, team shorts, and a rugby ball keychain with the team's logo on it. I think the mascot is the WHALE.
It was a guys and gals scrimmage today and I completely got my butt kicked. I have not played rugby in 8 years, am out of shape and did not have cleats. I kept wiping out in the puddlse and got completely soaked.
Good times. Going to brush up on rugby rules this week and try to get in better shape before the game on the 29th of this month.
Also starting pilates this monday. Classes are monday and thursday for the next month.
MISS YOU ALL!!
