Choose Rugby


CHOOSE RUGBY.

Choose a club. Choose a team. Choose a family. Choose a f*cking big prop; choose jumpers, tactics, big mean forwards and lightning fast backs. Choose good health, low blows, and dental insurance. Choose fixed stares and intimidating hakas. Choose a starting line-up. Choose a top-end scrum machine on hire purchase in a range of f*cking colours. Choose ICU and wondering where the f*ck you've woken up on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that icecold bench watching mind-numbing, spirit-enriching live matches, stuffing f*ucking cold pies into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of the night, pishing your last in a miserable outhouse, nothing less than a legend to the selfish, f*cked-up brats you trained to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose Rugby.


ESCOLHA RUGBY.

Escolha Rugby. Escolha um clube. Escolha um time. Escolha uma familia. Escolha um prop do c*ralho; escolha segunda-linhas, táticas, grandes e crueis forwards, e rápidos backs. Escolha uma boa saúde, golpes baixos, e o plano dental. Escolha olhares fixos e hakas intimidantes.
Escolha um ponto de partida line-up. Escolha seus amigos. Escolha agasalho e kitbags combinando. Escolha uma máquina potente de scrum comprada ou de alugada em uma gama de cores do c*ralho. Escolha UTI e se perguntando onde diabos você acordou numa manhã de domingo. Escolha sentar naquele banco assistindo entorpecido mentalmente, com espírito enriquecedor aos jogos ao vivo, estufando de tortas frias do c*ralho em sua boca. Escolha apodrecer no final da noite, xingando seu passado em uma casinha miserável, nada mais do que uma lenda para os egoístas, pirralhos f*dido você treinou para substitui-lo. Escolha o seu futuro. Escolha Rugby.

Campeonato Fluminense 2010 : final results

These are the results for the Rio de Janeiro state rugby championship, played in Brasil's wintertime from March to October.
This year there were two divisions, the top being serie A, which started with 8 teams. The teams played 15-a-side.
Calx-Cis had severe problems fielding a team, and they did not play any matches. Niteroi were champions, winning all their matches. Rio Rugby ran them very close, winning their other six matches, and only losing to Niteroi by 19-3.

Campeonato Fluminense 2010

SÉRIE A

1 Niterói          won 7
2 Rio Rugby    won 6
3 Guanabara   won 5
4 UFF               won 4
5 Friburgo       won 2
6 Itaguai          won 2
7 Patriotas      won 2
8 Calx-Cis       won 0



SÉRIE B

Serie B is for less well established teams, and matches were played as either 10-a-side or 12-a-side.  The champions were Campos dos Goytacazes, from a city up in the north of the state.
  

1 Campos 
2 Maxambomba 
3 Grandfather (Jacarepagua)
4 Rural
5 Tamoios

Campos and Maxambomba could probably make the step up to Serie A next year, to be replaced in Serie B by some of the even newer startup teams!
I personally would like to see Rio Rugby's B team (or Rio Oeste), plus Niteroi's under-21 team, plus Vila Real, playing in Serie B. All they do right now is fanny about play the occasional friendly.

We are now moving into the Spring 7-a-side, and beach rugby, season.
