Rugby is not something you play just for fun... it's something you feel. All you have to do is believe in yourself, and just as Webb Ellis did on that day in 1823, take the ball in your arms and run with it. Half the game, however, happens from the neck up. Discourage yourself and you will lose within the first ten minutes of play. However, if you try (and I mean make an honest attempt, not score five points) to win; if you believe in yourself; if you practice; if you dare to become the best—if you show your opponents what you are capable of, in other words, you will win the match from the first kick.
Rugby is an expression of life—a single, glittering thread that reflects the whole. Like life, rugby is messy and unpredictable, a picture of the instinct of survival. No matter what you do to control it, it will have its own way with you. The trick is to experience the moment with a clear mind and an open heart. If you do that, the game—and life—will take care of itself.
Keep calm... and play rugby.
