At my work, I can no longer access blogs, so I have to do my blog writing between other household tasks, walking the bulldog, holding onto baby Duncan to spell his mother.<BR/><BR/>The article that I found in Planetrugby.com chilled my chunky prop flesh to the bone. I felt that there would be injuries from collapsing mauls, like blown out knees and torqued backs, but I did not imagine somebody actually getting killed. All of us who play the game know there are risks, but in a tough, physical game, why would the IRB give the green light to a law that can endanger more players.Nursedudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841605014910203222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101694739527706614.post-7554714270387350452008-06-23T13:56:00.000+01:002008-06-23T13:56:00.000+01:00turns out I just posted much the same thing.
