Just a quick update…
I’m still verily enjoying the game… More so now that I am getting to know the rules and my position.
I got to play up a division on Friday and had a blast. Trouble is, I had just played another game on the Wednesday (Aside: recieved my first rugby-related shiner then) before in my regular division, as well as practicing on Tuesday. I now have to confess that I could use some of those soft-shelled pads I see many people wearing…
However, they are bloody expensive where I am (small market and such… They are definately a specialty item here). As such, I think it would be best to order off the internet.
Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get gear from? Keep in mind that I am in Canada, so it may be cheapest for me to order from North America…
So far, I have looked at www.worldrugbyshop.com and the shoulder pads there.
Again, any input will be greatly appreciated, even if it to call me a wuss…
