Rugby Dog: Our Week in Sydney

Who I Is

I'm just an old(er) Rugby player from Northern Iowa who has gained a great deal from the sport of Rugby, and like to share my love of this sport with family, friends, and other Ruggers. If you have some time, check out my links on the right side of this page. In the Flickr photo albums there are over 2,000 pics from past Rugby trips I've taken, and from my hometown team, River City Rugby. There's also some great videos on the YouTube link! If you want to learn more about Golden Oldies Rugby be sure to click on that link as well. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy what I post here. I am on Facebook too, so look me up and add me if you'd like. Cheers!

For our Team Dinner on Friday we are booking a small banquet room at The Rugby Club in the central business district of downtown Sydney. Looks like the perfect place for us Dogs to meet up and look back on the week that was over drinks and fine food. Here is a link to The Rugby Club:
