My thinking is that if they already play rugby they will have more in common with the Spanish kids.

Where abouts in NZ are you?

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?

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 federaciÃ³n 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

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

Have you seen much.

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.

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!
