A. hi im a proffesional rugby player and play for landsdowne in dublin. i was i a situation like you at the same age. the first thing is to start by asking yourself do you really have the quality? and if you do think so you can ask any big clubs to come see you play in a club match and if there impressed well then your well on your way. if not dont worry!! keep trying... you can always improve your game!! best of luck Ronan O'Mare

What do people eat while watching a rugby game?
Q. We're planning a party during the big England/S. Africa rugby game, but we only know what to serve during the Super Bowl. What do people eat in England when watching rugby? Chips? Tea and scones? Help!

A. If your guests are English, then during the rugby they'll have no time to eat. Their focus will be on the game, and nervous energy will be too high to enjoy food. If you are serving hot food, then serve it before or after the match. For hot food...what about chili and garlic bread. If you are going to have food out during the match, then go for a cold buffet. Otherwise it may well be ruined by the time anyone gets around to eating it! Have a good night!

How should a rugby back line be set up typically in each scenario?
Q. I have recently started rugby coaching for juniors and have a decent knowledge of the game, just wondering if someone could help me align the backs positions in extreme occasions like when back in your own 22 in defence/attack and alos when the opponent is back in their 22 in attack/defence! THANKS

A. in defense, you always want your line man on man. i would suggest having them stand off a little in order to drive the play one way. if the runner has the option of going two different ways, the defender has a harder time defending that. if the defender positions themself in such a manner that the ball carrier is offset from him, then the runner will likely run in the direction away from the defender X---X--- X--- X--- X O ---O ---O --- O --- O in this example the offense (denoted by the O) is offset. so when the first offensive player gets the ball he can only run straight or right. running left makes him run right at the defender. eventually the ball will get to the wing, and the sideline will act as an extra defender. thats one… [cont.]
