Rugby is, quite literally, a whole new ball game for me. My understanding of the game was quite superficial, I've had to do lots of research (meaning watched a lot of YouTube videos) so that I could understand what was going on. I also have an entire new vocabulary, everything in rugby has a cool name. They don't play on a field, they play on a pitch, they don't wear cleats, they were boots, they don't play with a ball, they play with a pill, and when they score it is called a try. Some of my other new favorite words; ruck, maul, scrum, grubber, hooker, flanker, lock, blood bin, and hospital pass. Yes, I know what they all mean, and the last two are as scary as they sound.

That's a lot of new things to learn. I didn't know any of that! Good luck this season!
