Rugby

Near the end of last semester, a guy from New Zealand showed up in the area and began to help coach the rugby team here at Tech. Apparently he's very very well connected to any and every level of rugby play, and his knowledge of the game easily dwarfed our current coaches. He just got the head coach position of the division one Atlanta Renegades and has invited me to train and possibly play with them in preparation for the all-South national team trials.

He assures me that I'm a shoe-in for the all-South side and with a few more pounds on me, I could contend for a blind-side flanker or number 8 position on the USA Eagles. Ha! I still don't know all the rules of the game!

In any case, I'm academically ineligible to play in the playoff games for tech by 0.01 GPA points, so I might take a few weeks off from training with the club team and see what higher level play has to offer.
