And now for something quite nice...
With social media largely full of bile and vitriol, every now again it is nice to read something that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, especially when it is rugby related.
In this instance I am referring to a tweet by a father a couple of days ago which stated that he had felt compelled to remove a post from Facebook about his son playing rugby because someone had unhelpfully commented that his boy, Alfie, was “too big” to play Under 12s rugby and wasn’t healthy.
Hopefully, however, both Alfie and his Dad will take huge encouragement from the outpouring of support from across the Twitter rugby community, including from the likes of Brian Moore, David Flatman, Liam Williams, Agustin Creevy, Alex Corbisiero Jerome Kaino and Nigel Owens, as well as from a number of rugby playing folk who have also had to battle criticism about their weight – all basically telling Alfie to ignore that haters and to keep playing and enjoying rugby.
Not only was this a reminder that, at its essence, rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes, it also highlighted that, for the most part, rugby folk are kind and supportive and that the online abuse of anyone about their appeearance, let alone of an 11 year old kid, is utterly unacceptable.
To which I would add: keep at it, Alfie, and enjoy every minute.
