“You aren’t alive anywhere like you’re alive in rugby…. Rugby isn’t about winning or losing matches. Rugby isn’t about words. You see a guy come to the farm for the first time, and his ass is a loaf of white bread (Chops). You see this same guy here six months later, and he looks carved out of wood (or metal, like Matt Tracey). This guy trusts himself to handle anything. There’s grunting and noise like at the gym (Rubes), but rugby isn’t about looking good (unless you’re Frank Sharpe). There’s hysterical shouting in tongues like at church, and when you wake up Sunday afternoon you feel saved (or confused like Bear).”
