Rafa likes Rugby

Rugby is a painful game to play - but it has elements of teamplay that could/must be taught in footy. Its a brilliant game (if its not your body that will pay the price) If you can't do it, or don't understand it, don't diss it out of hand.

Who did dat? Or rather who did diss?

I also think it is always a good idea for coaches to look at other sports in terms of training techniques. A lot of the ideas Big Sam has bought in which have extended the careers of a number of players came from American Football and Rugby League. If I remember correctly a number of his coaching staff started out in Rugby.

As much as I dislike Allardyce, he has been good at getting in a lot of sports science people and utilising other experts and techonology to get the best out of an average squad.

Don't diss him out of hand, man...

Mind you that techonology is freaky stuff!

Dear Albert,

No-one in this thread so far. Don't be confused. All is well.

Do you think so? A couple of years I gave it a go for a season and I really enjoyed it. I'm a small guy and everyone was much bigger than me, but I only really felt the hits after the game, I had too much adrenaline to worry about it on the field.

I don't know how much of a correlation there can be between rugby and football but I like rugby. Nowhere near football though.

I think also, a reason why I posted this is because, just like Rafa's wife, it is good to see Rafa getting involved in the community more.
This is great stuff to read as far as I am concerned.

Yeah, thrilling stuff.....

Yeah, thrilling stuff.....

you know what I mean, its good because it means there are more possibilities for Rafa having a stronger inclination to stay at Liverpool. He is starting to look very settled, his wife is involved with her projects, Rafa his, and his kids are settled in school with their friends and talking scouse.
