"Dear HCRFC

Just wanted to let you all know that i'm outa here. Work are sending me home (to the timeout corner) in a bit of a hurry. Spent saturday packing a container (and so missed yet another Rugby event) and leave on thursday.....

I am a little gutted to hang up my shorts and sandals and don the winter coat but hopefully watching live a series of 'second tier' teams thrash the World Champions in the 6 nations will ease my integration back into the land of mud and rain.

The enthusiasm for Rugby here is incredible and I've really enjoyed being a part of that. I want to thank you all for making me feel so welcome and wish you the best for this season's matrix games and beyond.

Best contact e-mail is this one ->>> [email protected]

Cheers

Rupert"

USA Rugby The Washington Post has a poll surveying what sports people think should be added to the Olympics. It is informal and has no bearing on the actual Olympics, but it would make a nice article about Rugby, in a national paper, if we won. We are currently in second place, 300 votes behind ultimate frisbee. Vote and pass the link along!

prevent the goal from being scored is illegal and is sanctioned by a
Penalty at the place of infringement.
