The Letchworth Girls' Rugby 'blog originally contained news and information about girls' rugby section based at Letchworth Garden City RUFC between 2004 and 2010, but these days is mainly a source of information, discussion and speculation about women's and girls' rugby in England and overseas.
Though the girls have moved on the blog continues in order to preserve and honour the memories of the greatest bunch of young people to have ever played the game (IMHO!). It is aimed at players past and present, as well as anyone else interested in women's rugby who might be trying to make sense of what on earth is going on, even if that meant going to an unofficial and uncensored source of speculation, debate and discussion about the game.
It has no official connection with any girls' or women's teams currently representing Letchworth GC RUFC is NOT an official website within the meaning of RFU Regulation 5.

who was that England player who walked into a ruck and went straight off their feet for a penalty 5m out??
ReplyDelete"That England player" got pulled off her feet by an American on the opposite side of the ruck to the camera - and why so shy about who you are?
ReplyDeleteVincent - father of said player
John: I thought you had tightened up on anonymous posting on this site?
Yes I did, but after a few months monitoring things it seemed to be getting in the way of people using to the site to make comments - especially if you had only registered users (asking for a name is no real barrier). Swings and roundabouts.
ReplyDeleteOne benefit, of course, is that (thanks to this exchange) we now know that the player in question was pulled off her feet. Without it that information would never have come out (though it did look a bit odd even without that knowledge - wonder what the referee was looking at?).
Vincent, your getting too sensitive!! Hands up I did post anonymously, like yourself, but omitted to put my name, I'll correct that now.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, that refereeing decision was correct, support your own body weight and if you go off your feet your out the game, there's nobody pulling anybody off their feet, only the American #2, who shouldnt get you off your feet.
Good luck to Sasha in the remaining games.

ReplyDeleteSensitive - never :-) LOL. Thanks for the good wishes - she's having a ball.
Re the technicalities of the whole thing - way over my head!

People who were at the games will notice that you can hear the famous cow bell in the background of the video.
