    Australian Rugby

    *** This post was originally posted to The Facebook Group "WTF is with Australian Rugby" and Authored by Mark Fargas. This is reposted here, with his permission***

    ===============

    All this talk about the Wallabies and Super Rugby, but the most important thing right now is that Rugby player numbers are way down, and many clubs are struggling to find coaches, officials, and players.
    Things are not good.

    What can we all actually do to help Rugby and grassroots footy?

    Don't write another post - set some goals and get involved.

    1 - buy a couple of tickets to see the NSW Waratahs

    2 - Spend a few bucks and go and watch a couple of Shute Shield games - and buy some lunch and enjoy

    3 - Go to a local Subbies game on a Saturday and have a beer and relax and laugh at the imperfect Rugby

    4 - Go for a morning walk and watch some junior footy - just for an hour and cheer the kids.

    Just invest some TIME into Rugby in your area and be active. If we all sit back there will be no Rugby to watch in fifteen years - all our grandkids will be playing Aussie Rules and Soccer.

    You don't have to be an official - just an active supporter

    ===============

    I hope that it is obvious to all that the original Author is based in Sydney. So feel free to buy tickets to the Force and watch and support WA Rugby.

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
