Rugby Football Union - anon
1927
Rugby
Football Union is the last bastion of the complete man, a muddied
amphitheatre upon which latter day Nimrods clash in what remains the
final refuge of the gladiator. In today's world of convenience and
consumerism, where pink besuited clones are whisked seamlessly from
ivory tower to leafy suburbia, man is stripped of his warrior roots,
emasculated by protocol and civilisation, whiling away his physical
prime in a cosy oasis where courage and heart are vestigial qualities,
a throw back to a bygone age.
A few, a very few, chose a different path. In the icy gloom of
windswept nights, they gather, pitting themselves against one another
in a raw physical contest where hearts defeat head, where bravery
belittles brawn. They take the field in the knowledge that there is no
hiding place, no simple option, no technical solution. They have
volunteered for the ultimate team game, the ultimate examination of
self.
Beyond the frivolous histrionics of soccer, the silky skilled of
hockey, the selfishness of athletics, there lurks the zenith of sport.
