[QUOTE="Jbobo, post: 692977, member: 62085"] I think that if you feel that your body can handle the rigors of playing with the younger lads, then you should have no problem playing in contested scrums. I don't see why you would be forced to play in an 0ver 35's team regardless. To be honest, the older players are more part time in that they have semi'retired. But we have a few veterans who run our for the B team every so often and around 4 regular starters. Our A team scrum half is in his mid 40's. I've played against some teams in A teams which have had quite a few older guys. Usually they are forwards and have little trouble with the physicality. Which position in the pack are you thinking? If you're a prop, i could see it being no problem at all. If you're fit enough, you're fine. You say you've played in internal regimental competitions, how did that go? The laws at the breakdown are probably the most difficult for a forward starting up. [/QUOTE]
