Rugby For Ladies.

Goldfinch60



Out onto the field they came,

Thirty ladies ready to play,

Fifteen against fifteen,

Playing the game I have watched,

Watched all my life,

Watching men play,

But ladies play it now

And it is wonderful to watch.

The match was superb,

Knocking hell out of each other

As they tried to get the oval ball over the line.

So fast and so delicate as well

As the ball went from player to player.

A game that showed me the joy,

The joy of watching rugby.

A game of honour and decency

In spite of the tackles made,

And the power of the ladies.

And after watching the game

A joy was felt by the winners,

And to my mind came the thought,

Showing their strength and power

I wouldn’t arque with them!

    LOL I wouldn't argue with them either, these women are highly trained in stamina and strength, I used to live very close to Twickenham Rugby stadium, and those rugby stars were enormous. Much enjoyed this dear Andy. 🌹

          Good on them, or as I might have writ sometime back, 'Go Girls Go...!'

          You managed to pick up on their energy nicely, Andy.

            Some women can be tough, fast and athletic and some of them I wouldn't tangle with. A fun read Gold
