Forever Strong

Rugby,
A new sport brought to our attention by our grandson Jonah. We went to the Flood Street Theater and saw this movie. What a wonderful, intense movie. A lot of good values were taught to everyone who viewed it and there were a lot of people there. Highland High was the high school involved.
We were in Cedar City helping Annette out while she had training and visited with Gary and Fran Dunford. We mentioned the movie to them and they told us that their son Jeff was on a mission in Minnesota and had a companion from Australia that played Rugby and new all about it. To make a long story short Saturday the 31 of January,2008 we went tot Snow Canyon High School and saw BYU and Penn State play a game. The final score was 88-14. I took some photos and will post them. #18 was our announcer and then he went into to play. His name was Shaun Howard and when the game was over I ask him if we could take his picture so there you see us. We found our every year in St.George there is a Red Mountain Rugby Tournament. We plan on going every year. There is also a picture off Gary Dunford, Jeff his son, Sidney his granddaughter and grandson ??? "Senior Moment". I'll call Gary and Fran and find out his name. It is a very physical sport, the scoring can go very fast and the rules are different. We were able to snag a score sheet with pictures but it didn't really help me too much. We would like to see more games and I guess you can go to Rugby.com and find out more about the sport and where it is played.

Sounds like you had fun at the game. Good for you. We'll have to check out the movie too.

rugby is a crazy sport, the whole passing to someone behind you thing, and the way they start out all bunched in a scrum. When Jen Wahl played in college, girls would duct tape their ears down so they wouldn't get ripped off by the other team. it's violent!
