 Nasties Rugby
In steamy conditions, Trollope the warm up man conducted a Personal Best, warm up session that would have had the heads of Knox extremely excited. If I didn’t know better I would suggest that he is trying out all of his new school training ideas on a bunch of no hoping over 35, beer swilling rugby legends, possibly with a view to gaining selection in one of the gravy train representative independent schools teams who are no doubt touring somewhere cheap like LONDON, FRANCE and RUSSIA. As a front rower, I am not sure why we need to get on our back to stretch our legs ????
The late starting match (lads please get there at seven and not after the warm up) started with a bang, with the Lawyer & esteemed social worker Sean scoring tries at will, with the defence probably still simply buggered after the warm up.
Once the lads recovered the match tightened up around the ruck with the both teams continually offside, making tries hard to come by, with some of the worst offenders being Skip, Pup, Deek & Cowboy.
It was nice to see Rod Barden come down and he instantly formed a sensational combination with Sean and Mita. The bronzed, big striding Mita actually had a fairly quiet one probably due to the short five yards not giving him time to wind up. BOYO, come back we need you to police the 5 yards ! (PS Trooper also misses you !)
For Cowboys team, Trollope and Mark Hodgson, both yet to get a nickname that sticks, ran hard and created some excellent opportunities for the Dicky Knee of Deek and Pillow Ribs, whilst Matty Reid albeit late caused havoc out wide and seemed to enjoy a few cold ones with the lads, welcome back Matty !.
For Sean’s team their solid attack was not outdone by some excellent defence particularly from The Iron Man, Paul Staunton who was excellent along with Warney (I mean the chain smoking and drinking PUP) and Just-In who continues to improve every week. The second rowers in Cowboy and Just-In are starting to hit their straps, so watch out for a big season from these two.
After a somewhat short match due to starting late & the lack of lights (where are you Avalon Air, I mean Dim Sim) the Boutique beers provided by Justin were well received by the lads who were all pretty hot & buggered due to the steamy conditions.
Thanks to the late coming Colin for refereeing even though he is still carrying an injury.
To those lads sponsoring the Nasties well done, including the new sponsors from last night including DEEK, PILLOW RIBS and COLIN, Super Stuff lads ! If you are up for $250 to sponsor the club, please contact COWBOY at

Finally, to the Golden BOYO, last weeks winner the Dicky Knee of the Deekster nominated Cowboy who was simply awesome in attack and defence, and who’s reading of the game is improving week by week.
The Cowboy had to duly drink what looked like a hot aeroplane sized (tiny) bottle of champagne, that looked liked it had been in the cellar since before the war. Next week we look forward to the Cowboys concoction of choice, which will need to be doubled up as the Deekster still has not drunken his Ribena from last week.
Lads,please make an effort to get to touch, the more the merrier. We all wish Flynnie and Aido a safe surfing trip to Samoa !
