Best friends. Nuff said.

"I AM INVINCIBLEEEEEE!" —9-year-old you
2. Bare Arse
Yes, your shorts just came down.

“I’ve got it, I’ve got it…wait…..no I haven’t…”

Ball hits to the face on a cold winters day hurting more than any tackle!
5. Having a ref that’s too old to keep up with play
Is there any point in even having them here?

There was always THAT ONE PARENT who argued with the referee.
7. NOTHING felt better than the sweet relief that was taking off your boots after a game.
8. If you were the fullback, you secretly loved that you could chill for a second while the ball was in the forwards.
"Please, take your time. There's no rush to come over here."
9. Getting smashed
You probably still have nightmares about lil' rugby players charging at you.
10. You made some of your best friends and memories on that pitch!

11. No matter how dirty or tired you were, you had to line up and shake the hands of your opposition.

12. Only having one working shower
And even then it’s f*****g freezing

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
