So, here begins my blog at rather an interesting point in my life.
I’m currently on sabbatical – that’s one way of looking at it. In pure fact, I’m taking 12 months or so off to concentrate on playing rugby. Nearly 31 years old and playing rugby for fun: I am indeed in a fortunate position.
But this week is something special. I’m playing rugby for the first time in almost 8 months, returning from a knee reconstruction. Actually, playing for the Brumbies is always special, but I will savour this weekend and intend to provide a decent preview of my mettle!
We’re playing in the Sevens by the Sea tournament, which will be pretty tough – it’s apparently 5 games in the one day. But at least I’ll have a jersey on rather than a water runner’s bib!
No more water running for me!
