This is a post to all you new people who this year decided to enter our rugby pitch. You might wonder if we actually want new players since we yell at you so much.

Let’s clarify. We’re not angry with you. We just get very
excited and extremely competitive when there’s a ball around.
In our sport, communication is vital. It’s not just the fact
that we play a team sport with fifteen people on the pitch, all with different
ideas about what should be done next. It’s also about the power of the game itself. We
play an intense high impact sport and if we don’t talk to eachother, the risk of
injury increases. For example, I’ve seen ten stitches in the face as a result of two teammates
not talking to eachother (actually, I’ve felt them). Believe me, when you know
it’s completely unnecessary, and partly your own fault, that needle in your
forehead is not the icing on a perfect day-cake.
So if there was a lot of screaming, demanding and bossing
you around yesterday, all is well.
I don’t apologise for a single word.
