Touch (Rugby) World Cup 2011 - Edinburgh

[alicrozier]

Some of you may know Nicola and I have been playing a fair bit of this sport. After some hard work last year, training and trials through this winter we're both dead chuffed to be selected for the Scotland teams!

There are age group teams (to allow for us oldies). Nicola is in the Womens Over 30's team, I'm in the Men's over 30's...so feeling 10 years younger!

Great effort, in the diary. No way she is over 30!

And by the same token, I thought you were in yer 40s!



Seriously though, well done Ali & Nicola, wish you all the best
