Please spare a thought today for the Warrangah Rats Rugby Club who play in the Shute Shield competition in Sydney. One of their 5th grade players passed away yesterday whilst playing.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. 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
Isn't the human body an amazing yet confusing thing?
On one side, we punish and push it to extraordinary lengths and we think nothing of it but this bloke was doing something he's done all season, looked pretty healthy enough from the photo I saw of him but drops dead..so sad..what do you say?
