As much as we love our contact sports, it seems like rugby is the awkward cousin at the family reunion! The main reason for this cold shoulder is the popularity of American Football. It's like being in a family of movie stars and you're the only one doing theatre. Also, the lack of media exposure and public familiarity reduce rugby's fan base, but hey, who knows? Maybe one day we'll trade our helmets for scrum caps and give rugby the love it deserves!</summary><updated>2023-08-02T18:16:41+00:00</updated><published>2023-08-02T18:16:41+00:00</published><category>Sports Analysis</category><author><name>Casper Redmond</name><uri>https://rugbymonthly.co.uk/author/casper-redmond/</uri></author></entry><entry><title>Is it inconceivable to start playing rugby in my 40s?</title><link href="https://rugbymonthly.co.uk/is-it-inconceivable-to-start-playing-rugby-in-my-40s"/><summary>So, you're in your 40s and thinking of picking up rugby?
