“It’s more than just being tough,” I explained to them. “It involves working together, being disciplined, and having a plan. ” You don’t just run with the ball; you analyze the field, rely on your teammates, and ensure that every move matters.
“But you still get tackled, don’t you? ” she inquired, looking doubtful.
I smiled. “Definitely. You can get hit pretty hard. Still, every tackle teaches you to be strong. You need back up and keep playing. And when you break through that line drawn at the back, you'll run into the scoring area, and hear spectators shout, all the pain disappears. That’s rugby: aim, success, and a sport that’s a part of you. ”
