10. Sir And Ma’am
Being respectful is taught to all Rugby players. It doesn’t matter whom they’re speaking to. It could either be the flower lady, the milkman, or your parents.null
11. You’re on first name terms with A&E staff
Whether you’ve ruptured your quad, been at the bottom of a collapsed scrum or broken your ankle, chances are everyone at A&E now knows your name.
12. Nothing is off limits on the group chat…
Everything is discussed on the squad chat, from speculating on the origins of your bruised nipple to discussing someone’s new pet hedgehog, back to vetoing Tinder matches.
13. Rugby Jargon
Not only are you now filled with endless rugby terms – grubber, up and under, maul, openside etc. – but you also learn all the weird calls your hooker and scrum-half will give. On top of this you’ve got to yell everything with a mouthguard.
