The Full Backs...
According to Gavin Hastings, former Scotland and Lions full-back, the full-back has always been the last line of defence and is an important point of attack either as a decoy runner or taking the ball in hand.

Name: Becky Nickname: Mrs D Position: Full Back Favourite Rugby Player: Jonny Wilkinson/Jonathan Davies. It's the English/Welsh thing see! Favourite Rugby Experience: Every weekend for 6 years since I started playing! Time taken to down a pint: No official time recorded!! Why do I play rugby?: Until you try you'll never know why! Just love being part of a team. Love the apprehension and immense satisfaction of playing the game. Love the adrenalin,the pain and the fatigue. Love getting up on a Monday morning knowing i've survived another weekend! Sound like a nutter? No - those who know, just know! |

But kicking a penalty from half way and it landing out half a metre from the try line and all the rugby boys on the sideline loving it saying they wished they could kick like that:) Time taken to down a pint: TBC - 5 shots in 6 secs though Why do I play rugby?: Because I finally got the chance! There's virtually no teams in Ireland. It is also a real team sport, you can't win without everyone working for each other - no 'heroes' |
