    We`re better than Georgia and Tonga, but a little behind Fiji and Italy.

    play on the island, for rugby yes, but for a life no. i moved here (the island) in grade 8, i played high school and club here, which was really good rugby...but now i am in university and i cant wait to get off of this rock. for a better time of things, go to vancouver or ontario.

    REdnecks, that is in Calgary. Newfies in Fort Mac.
    Fort Mac rugby, when you get tackled with a 100 kg tackle and think it was a prop, but realize it was just a mosquito.

    I played ther in 87 and 90 but a very low level. I played a Senior C game in North Harbour in 1990 and was suprised it wasn`t much different from a third team game in Ontario. The top level, which I ran touch and refereed at was way better but at the lower level it was nearly even.
