i'll post some when i get them, Mark. i was allergic to the pain thing myself, till i realized that it wasn't really all that bad. for the most part, you can't hit someone hard enough to cause injury without hurting yourself, so you learn to tackle differently, and most of the "owwies" were caused by crappy fields. although i do recall the hooker on my high school 1st XV team used to file his cleats... still, in 5 years of playing, the only injuries i eversustained were a broken hand and a sprained ankle, the latter badly exacerbated by the fact that it happened early in the game, and i had the trainer tape it up so i could finish the match rather than make my team play shorthanded... :whack:
