rugby

as soon as i moved to toronto, i looked to hook up with a rugby club. it's certainly one of the best things to do when you move to a new town since there are so many contacts and friends that you can make from joining a rugby club.

i play for the toronto nomads who a part of the toronto rugby union. they have several teams and are an extremely fun and energetic group. please visit their web site and if you are thinking of playing, then by all means sign up with us.

currently i'm in the middle of a hiatus from rugby. over the past couple of years i've had a few major injuries and i decided to take a year off and let my body and bones heal. i've also taken this time to get back into shape. i must say i have really missed playing rugby and i can't wait to get back into the sport. rugby is a very demanding sport and you need to be in good physical shape in order to avoid serious injury. i came to the realization that unless i got back in shape, i'd continue to get hurt.

in an effort to return to playing form, i have started what i call "the program". this is simply my training and diet program to get back into shape for the coming 2002 rugby season. if you're curious about the details, check out my fitness program page.

the toronto nomads have their home turf up at fletcher's fields in markham as do most of the toronto clubs. come on out to watch some of the games, i'm sure you'll be hooked.

gentlemen's sport?

rugby is often referred to as the gentlemen's sport. there is much truth to this. on the field, it is a war between teams, but after the game, all is forgiven over a pint of beer. the comradery in rugby is unequalled in any other sport
