What it actually
feels like.
Floodlit pitch. Cold air. The crack of pads echoing across the dark. This is Thursday night.
The pitch smells of cut grass and cold air. Someone's speaker is playing something too loud. You haven't felt this awake since last Saturday.
Thirty metres of open field. You make the break. The crowd — four people and a dog — goes absolutely mental.
Two pints in. Somebody's re-enacting the match-winning try with a beer mat. This is the part you came back for.
Straight from the
changing room.
"I hadn't played in eight years. First game back I dislocated a finger and couldn't stop smiling."
"By week three I knew everyone's name, their job, their worst tackle. That's a community."
"I moved to Manchester knowing nobody. Six months later I've got a WhatsApp group of thirty idiots I'd do anything for."
"The job doesn't come with me to the pitch. For 80 minutes I'm just a number eight."
"Year 9s can break you. Rugby fixes it. Every. Single. Week."
"My wife thought it was a midlife crisis. Now she drives me to training."
