HEARD IT BEFORE
We've got answers
"I haven't played in years."
Good. Neither has half the comp. Vic Masters is built for exactly that.
Rusty is fine. Not turning up isn't.
"I'm not fit enough."
You get fit by playing, not before you play.
Show up, do your minutes, let the game do the rest.
"I don't know anyone."
You will after round one.
That's the whole point. Rugby people are good people — Masters rugby people even more so.
"Is it safe at my age?"
Yes. Everyone out here has something to lose, so nobody's playing stupid. Clubs and refs take welfare seriously.
Pull the boots back on.
Stay for the people.
