Topic review - too old to play?

I don't think you can be to old to play as long as you are aware of limitations and risks. Of course it will be difficult to match up to players who started as kids! My advise would be:

- join a club, start training
- as you get an idea if the game suits you start playing games
- focus on contact skills: limit the risk
- get a position in the backs

and yes, try to read as much as possible on the game. As you obviously did since you posted on this forum.....

Ha, I stopped when I was 26! But that was another story,

If you are fit, you can play at any age I guess....

I am a 26 (nearly 27) year old man who has been enjoying watching rugby for 4-5 years. I played a little at school, but had little interest (being very skinny and bespectacled didn't help much). I recently read an article on the Kings Cross Steelers in which they said guys in their 20's and 30's could go along and play even if they had no experience.

I already do some regular fitness work, do you think I am up to playing rugby?
