Rugby players spend a lot of time physical training Compared to other form of sports.I have read the Rugby laws mentioned on this site. It's a gripping sport which targets the grip strength and the active mindedness of a player. American football and rugby league are also primarily collision sports, but their tackles tend to terminate much more quickly. For professional rugby, players are often chosen on the basis of their size and apparent strength and they develop the skill and power over the passage of time. In modern rugby considerable attention is given to fitness and aerobic conditioning as well as basic weight training.

Outstanding comments, both.

Bruce, you get the “upstate” award. I’m from Albany, though I will be in Ithaca next year.

I just made the drive from DC up to New Haven for a bit of end-of-month business. Actual exchange with a friend in Falls Church on my arrival.

Me: godD*** it’s humid up in here.

Him: It’s humid here too.

Him: But in liquid form.

Greetings fellow ex-upstater! I take it you're from near Albany. I grew up in Rouses Point -- try getting more "upstate" than that! As for conversation, I suggest asking how the ark is coming.
