We would absolutely batter them.

Doubt it. They have a team that has played for years don't they?

Doesn't mean they're any good. Played for years usually means old and past it anyway.

I wondered if there were many though becuase at football level you only get the odd team at under 18 level.

Wondered if anyone could spare some advice?

I really want to start playing rugby but the problem is I have never played before other than a few times in school, another problem is I would probably have to play open age, I'm unfit and wouldn't be of much use to a team.....time to say goodbye on a rugby career that hasnt started?

Give Widnes Vikings a ring and ask to speak to Dennis or Paul, they have signed Patrick Ah Van so i'm sure they would offer you a contract as well, are you his brother ? Its just you said that you look unfit and wouldn't be much use to a team.

I'd defo get in touch with your local team. It dint matter how good you are as it's also great laugh and good social side of it.

Your rugby mates are the best mates you'll ever have and that's what I tell the under 10s i coach. I still recall my coach telling me that when I was 10 and he was spot on as rugby lads all stick together.

To the OP. Take the step. You may not enjoy playing, but at least you tried.
