Rugby in Spain.
 

Only a matter of time really before I asked!!

I know it happens, there are some half decent clubs, I have even watched some half decent rugby, but what are your thoughts?

Have you seen any? Is there any around your parts?

Have you seen much.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

There is a fully fledged rugby club in Denia but as I know very little about rugby, apart from the fact that I love Martin Johnson's screwed up face, I can't say whether it is a good, bad or indifferent club. I only go for the beer and the rugby 7s beach tournaments are always fun.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

thanks for that, I will post this for you, it was sent to me from my best mate in NZ, she has a bit of a thing for him and wants to spread the word!!

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Oh yes I can see why; he's very handsome.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

perfect muscle definition, thats about it!

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Yes and very handsome, really quite handsome.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Will go back in a min. to check out muscle definition - just to be sure!

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Do you play rugby or you are just a fan?

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

bit of both, had a nasty injury working a couple of years ago and only had the all clear to start training again the end of last year.
In training now for next season, but I may be out of the country before I start playing, hence the thread.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

I see.. I used to watch friends play at school/college in my teens but that seems like such a long time ago I don't even remember the rules anymore :o.. I can't tell you much other than that, it doesn't seem like a popular nationwide sport as we are not particularly good at it. Hopefully you'll find somewhere to play or maybe somewhere to train kids..

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

I would love to do a bit of both. Spain has quite a few clubs, admittedly many up north but a few all the same.

Gotta get fit first, the hardest bit is now, its absolutely killing me.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Be patient, recovering from injuries always takes time..

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Patience has always been my problem.


It will come, I feel I have turned a corner recently actually.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

El puerto has a rugby team, quite dedicated. I have seen them play, they are hard. there were a few injuries and a very bloody ear! My hubby wanted to join the team but I put my foot down and said no, it might effect work if he got injured. So he is stuck with 5 a side football on mon and thurs night.
There is defiantly a league down here, I can find out more if you want

love

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

I am very interested in this one...My boys (6 and 7) want to learn rugby here in NZ but I am more inclined to try and push them towards football as we are moving to Spain and I can't remember any rugby clubs when I lived there before. My thinking is that if they already play rugby they will have more in common with the Spanish kids.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Maryann this vid is just for you, and thanks for the info, yeah I would love to find out more.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Where abouts in NZ are you?

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Its the wrong shaped ball
Someone forgot to cut the top off the Goal Posts
Their shorts are too tight for their fat arses
They have wierd ears, flat noses & grope each other in a thing called a scrum
Jonny Wilkinson is always injured
League & Union ... whats all that about
They are all hooligans

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

this is why i asked if your welsh, welsh love their rugby!

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

But they are REAL MEN, their shorts are just lovely and tight, not to mention their thighs oooh sorry have to go for a while, having a hot flush!!:wub::wub:

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

I am in Orewa....But have a business in Warkworth. I lived in Campamento just outside Gib. for a few years and am gagging to go back to Spain.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

My best mate fluctuates between Dannevirke and Taupo, she has a couple of boys around the same age and both play for the Hawkes Bay minis.

Where you planning on going back to?

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

There's quite a few teams around and in my experience are always looking for players and ex-players to get involved in whatever capacity. Obviously depends on where you are based but a good place to start would be www.ferugby.es the federación website. If you're in Andalucia, you can try http://www.farugby.com/

If you're in Huelva you can try Tartessos who need players and also try the Algarve as there are a number of teams there playing at quite a decent level - Vilamoura have a decent side and base themselves out of Browns Leisure Resort

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

....oh, and this always makes me smile. What a plonker!!!!

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Barbarians were here a couple of weeks ago, playing in Valencia, beat Spain 56 - 22 if I rmeber correctly, there are certainly a number of Rugby clubs here on the CB.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

They were, Zinzan ended up in bloody hospital after a night out.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Im not sure at the moment where I am going to go back to. Im trying to get a job in a Hair and Beauty College at the mo'. There's two that provide British Qualifications so if I can get into one of those it will be either Torremolenos or theres one near torrevieja...But not bothered because if they are not recruiting at that time then I will come and open a Day Spa...and that would be somewhere on the Costa de la luz. Its all about where I will work rather than where I would like to live. But the time Ive got left here gives me ample time to brush up on the old Spanish!

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

There was me thinking you were from Rugby.

Prefer football myself but take the odd rugby league game in now and then.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Too far north for me, its grim up north don't you know.


I'm a southerner, well kind of.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

I know coming from Doncaster.

You Donnnnnnns, or whatever daft american name they go under these days.

Re: Rugby in Spain.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

I will look utterly spiffing when I go for my days shooting I will have you know!

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Just make sure you point the gun in the right direction and dont end up down with the local Plod ;)

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

I.E Away from your face, i think MB meant.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

always do.

I have just had a spot inspection mate, and he commended me for the way I keep the cabinet.

Re: Rugby in Spain.
 

Aha, Tony Blair was commended for the way he kept his cabinet but look what happened to him ;)

Re: Rugby in Spain.
