Handy Hint
1. Backline Calls - A series of unconnected words often, but not exclusively, related in some way to sex or bodily functions, that backs yell out whilst playing to convince the forwards that the 10 minutes they spent talking while you did live scrums against a semi trailer at training was not a dirty bludge.
2. Backline Boots - Are usually shiny and have things called 'blades' or 'molded studs' instead of 20 millimetres of aluminum death like proper rugby players. Completely useless and better suited to bedroom slipper work.

Easy as 1, 2, 3 - 123 KGs that is

I’m sure we’ve all played at Clubs where a union of Front Rowers would have consisted of 3 very large old bastards and a couple of new guys who didn't figure out in time that the correct response to “How do you feel about playing in the Front Row JUST FOR ONE GAME IN SIXES?” is “Just how stupid do I look?”. This is not one of those Clubs. At Iggies you will be respected and loved for the indispensable resource that you are. This is a Club where the engine room boys know the truth - that a 120 kilo prop that loses weight and gets fit in the off season is just a fitter, faster Prop.
