    A Bit of Sport

    I'll be arriving in Wellington in a few weeks, and looking to use this as an opportunity to get fit again. Does anyone have an opening for an open side flanker in a local rugby team?

    I haven't played for about 4 years but still love the game. I'd even look for a place to turn up and train if no games available.

    Cheers

    Mike

    Spend a year in the Gym mate, or you'll get hurt.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    You might be in for a shock. I work with a chap, similarly confident, similar weight (not fat I might add).

    First game in four years and he hasn't been back to work for two months. Separated shoulder, broken collar bone, cracked sternum, bruised lung.

    Oh - and the Welly Crew meet every Thursday night at Breakers bar, High St Lower Hutt.

    Downstairs used to be the Grumpy Mole, but is being revamped (about time too)

    Look forward to meeting you.

    SIze is nothing here mate, 16 stone is only about 100 kg isnt it?

    get semi fit first.

    Hope you enjoy rugby here though

    I'll be in touch when I arrive, hopefully get out for a few beers.

    Do you have any out-of-season training? I need something structured for motivation as I'll just spend all night with beer in my hand as I do now

    I'm looking forward to getting there, meeting some people and (eventually) clocking up some mileage on a new bike!

    16 stone?? Shit you'd best get training - you'll get eaten alive. Where are you gonna live? What level do you plan on playing? Are you going to play for or against? We have what's called 80/80 grade for the smaller chaps, that may be a good place to start...

    Geez Col, I was trying to hint that without actually saying it.

    Ok a serious reply. Rowing. If you want to get fit rowing is the thing. You'll be strong and fit at the start of the season. There's gym work and touch rugby. We have a couple of grid iron teams here too.

    Jim - you know I struggle with what to do with the size challenged!
