Rugby Football Union - anon 1927
Rugby Football Union is the last bastion of the complete man, a muddied amphitheatre upon which latter day Nimrods clash in what remains the final refuge of the gladiator. In today's world of convenience and consumerism, where pink besuited clones are whisked seamlessly from ivory tower to leafy suburbia, man is stripped of his warrior roots, emasculated by protocol and civilisation, whiling away his physical prime in a cosy oasis where courage and heart are vestigial qualities, a throw back to a bygone age.
A few, a very few, chose a different path. In the icy gloom of windswept nights, they gather, pitting themselves against one another in a raw physical contest where hearts defeat head, where bravery belittles brawn. They take the field in the knowledge that there is no hiding place, no simple option, no technical solution. They have volunteered for the ultimate team game, the ultimate examination of self.
Beyond the frivolous histrionics of soccer, the silky skilled of hockey, the selfishness of athletics, there lurks the zenith of sport.
