Hello!! My name is Anthony I come from in australia. And I love Rugby, Rugby is sport played at a fast pace, with few stoppages and continuous possession changes. All players on the field, regardless of position, can run, pass, kick, and catch the ball. Likewise, all players must also be able to tackle and defend, making each position both offensive and defensive in nature. And I love North Brisbane Rugby Club.
