My Life as a Hooker

When a Middle-Aged Bloke Discovered Rugby
In my late thirties, it gradually dawned on me that I had become Jason s regular hooker. It was an arrangement that worked well for a couple of reasons. He didn t need me to dress up in anything particularly risqué or to do anything too vulgar, other than cuddle in the middle of a field with him and fourteen other men on a Saturday afternoon.
Steven Gauge s response to an impending midlife crisis didn t involve piercings, tattoos or a red sports car instead, he decided to take up rugby. What he found on the pitch was a wonderful game, far removed from the professional televised glamour of international rugby, where ordinary blokes with ordinary jobs (and some extraordinary bellies) get together once in a while and have a great time rolling around in the mud.
