Cast your bread upon the water

Cosmic forces, along with committed coaches parents and players have a way of leveling the playing field. Competitiveness has returned to Utah high school aged rugby and it is a positive note for everyone.
  • HR beat Lowland a first year team by 40 points, yet Lowland scored three try's.
  • United beat the HR B team 45-0.
  • HR B was ranked the #2 team in the nation by a pre season poll.

It seems like you should give some credit to the import players United has that you won't talk about. Or maybe defend the local boys whose positions were taken away from them because of the import players...

Jenny, I admire you, you have more courage than most. Let's try and engage in a productive conversation.

What do you think of the following rule. I will respond to one of your questions specifically and without bashing ........ but then you have to respond specifically to one of my questions.

What do you think?

I will start. Remember I do not have any say in the policies of the United Rugby club. This blog is my opinions and yes at times my brothers and I disagree. Also keep in mind all the rules have now been changed for U-19 clubs allowing 5 import players.

United has three import players this year. For almost one year I have been asking Highland to agree to the self imposed limit of two import players on the field at any one time. As you know this is not agreeable to HR. If HR agreed I believe United would follow suit.

HR may have 3,4,5 or 6 again this year. No one really knows because it has always been very secretive.

Lets assume that the import players are of equal or similar skill level. United has 3 HR has (?). Now the local players can compete on an almost level playing field.

Why don't we see if HR would agree agree to a limit of 3 import players on the field at anyone time. Is this fair
