Hello everyone !
I've liked rugby since I was grade 3 because it was my first time approaching rugby and i found it really interesting , our school let us play Tag rugby in P.E. classes. I've also been to the Hong Kong Sevens for 3 times and it was tremendous and fascinating.
I've have some basic skills of playing rugby but the last time I've played rugby was almost 3 years ago when i was still in my elementary's school female rugby team .
Now I'm in my freshman year of high school, I don't have any friends at all and I would think that why not joining the rugby team? I might meet new people too, also I get to exercise, it's a win-win situation.
The school team sign up didn't start until spring because that's the rugby season in here ; I have some questions :
I am actually really short for my age, I'm 153cm and my weight is 58kg, I also wear glasses . I've seen the IRB rules saying you can't wear glasses in matches because it's very dangerous and accidents might happen. I cannot see without having my glasses on, and I don't think my parents like the idea of wearing contacts . Can you wear sports-special-made goggles at matches? Also I don't really mind about the injuries but my parents didn't really like the idea of me joining rugby team, they said it's a violent and dangerous sports and I would get push around by people because of my height. I feel really sad when they said that because all I wanted to do is just to join the rugby team.
Anyways, thank you for your time!
