Rugby and Mother's Day the perfect combination

An early Mother's Day with me Mum in Law. She came down to watch my rugby match on Saturday and had to have a piccie of her favorite Son(in law) kilted. She makes me look tall. I love it.

Great picture! My MIL and FIL are gonna come sit with the Luminous Joan (and walk around a bit, too) and see me throw on Saturday. Nothing like sharing the stuff you do with people that mean a lot to you.

Great shot! My guess is you play front row, right? I'm a Kiwi and ex-rugby player - second row.

Lovely photo. I like the idea of the badge on the kilt - I've seen people wearing a sewn on badge in the place of a kilt pin when travelling through airport security.

Hooker sir! And you're never an ex rugger, you just haven't played in awhile.

Must have been the good looks required of all forwards that keyed you in eh? Or was it the "not quite sane" look in the eyes?

Off subject a bit, but you of all people can appreciate it... I've got an All Blacks ball on my shelf that was signed to me from Grant Fox. And I've got a picture of him signing it at my friends house. My most prized rugby item. Even more so than my rookie of the year trophy. An amazing player.

That, RK-REX, is a treasure beyond all cost. Look after it!! And you are right, like the marines I am a retired rugby player having hung up my boots some 30 years ago. But I still get a regular fix with local games at Camp LeJeune and watching Sentanta Sports on DirecTV.

Nice pic man!
You're a giant when it comes to character man, I've met you in person and I can attest to that!

I always wanted to try rugby, I need to drop some pounds and I think maybe I will.

Stop it...You're making me all misty and stuff.

It's a great way to drop some weight and have fun doing it. If you're interested let me know I can put you in touch with some teams in the Detroit area.
