Quote: "Rugby skills are rather analogous to shearing sheep or driving a car - you must have a go yourself and keep on and on until you have got it."
"Rugby, however, is a game anyone can play: the thin boy, the rather tubby boy, the not-very-fleet-of-foot boy, the boy with little eye-hand coordination, all can find a place in a rugby team and have a wonderful time." - J.J. Stewart, the All-Black's Way
