I think I speak for a great many of us, both those who are interested in rugby itself and those who are not but who support the Hurricanes Poua's right to freedom of expression, when I say oh fuck off, Winston Peters

#aotearoa #new zealand #rugby #women's rugby #hurricanes poua #super rugby aupiki #haka #I know saying that is futile #because people have wanted Winston Peters to fuck off for decades now #and he simply will not

Rugby 7s GOAT

Portia Woodman-Wickliffe is the GOAT of women's rugby (and, yes, a #gay icon who is married to a former NZL women's rugby player). Alongside her NZL teammates, Portia has won Olympic Gold (2020) and Silver (2016) in Rugby 7s, and she was apart of the winning team at the 2021 Rugby World Cup (Rugby 15s). Individually, she has amassed many honors, including multiple world rugby player of the year awards and the 2020 player of the DECADE... not to mention she is all the all-time try leader on the women's series (7s).

As we approach the next stop of the HSBC 7s Series, which will be broadcasted from Perth AUS from Jan 26-28, I will be highlighting more players and ways to watch this fun (& super gay) sport.

Grey Sloan Women's Rugby

So it turns out it is extremely fun to make the women of your ensemble cast hyperfixation shows play team sports! I've already done Criminal Minds, but Grey's Anatomy has so many more characters for me to play with. So, without further ado, I present the starting fifteen of the Grey Sloan women's rugby team:

1 and 3 (Props): Heather Brooks and Taryn Helm. Okay, bear with me. It was actually super hard to find props for this team, because everyone on the show is so fucking tall and so fucking skinny. But especially if your hooker is 4'11", you don't want your props to be that tall, but you do still want them to have some bulk and power, which makes Helm in particular an ideal candidate. Also, prop is not a glamorous position. The tight five do more physical labor than anyone else on the pitch, but they're usually not the ones running the flashy, impressive plays or scoring the tries. Brooks and Helm are both dependable, consistent hard workers who rarely get the glory or the credit for their contributions, but that doesn't stop them from putting in the effort and being part of the team.

2 (Hooker): Miranda Bailey. I mean, obviously. Was it ever going to be anyone else? She's tenacious. She's fearless. She knows what she wants, and she doesn't hesitate to go for it. She's the shortest one on the pitch, but damn does she pack a lot of strength and power into that short body! Miranda Bailey is the ideal rugby hooker.

4 and 5 (Locks): Callie Torres and Addison Montgomery. These ladies are tall. I looked it up: Callie is 5'9", and Addison is 5'10". Callie definitely has the size, strength, and power for the tight five, and Addison has the long limbs and the strong yet willowy build of a jumper. But in addition to their physicality, they have the right temperament for locking. They have the grit and the mental toughness for the second row. They're stubborn and determined, but they're also team players. They're workhorses who don't get frazzled when they find themselves in a tight spot. Also, they have such a great relationship with each other that they'd make an unstoppable second row duo.

6 (Weakside Flanker): Jo Wilson. Flankers are scrappy, and Jo Wilson is nothing if not scrappy. She may not be as big or as physically powerful as her teammates in the tight five, but she's tough, determined, and not afraid to get physical and go for what she wants.

7 (Strongside Flanker): Cristina Yang. Yes, she's tiny, but with her tough, aggressive, almost bloodthirsty playing style, she belongs in the forward pack. The strongside flanker is usually a small but scrappy girl who plays like a forward but can sprint like a back. Her main job is to rush the opposing team's flyhalf, so she doesn't actually need to be that big; she just needs to be very fast and aggressive and maybe also kinda scary.

8 (Eight man): Carina DeLuca. Another tall lady with the slim but powerful build of a jumper. The eight man is usually a versatile athlete who plays smarter, not harder. She's creative and skillful in the way she handles the ball and makes decisions. She needs to be an excellent communicator and have good judgment, and more than anything, she needs to be sure of herself and confident in her abilities.

9 (Scrumhalf): April Kepner. The two most important qualities of a good scrumhalf? A cool head in chaotic situations, and a loud, piercing voice. A good scrumhalf--like a good trauma surgeon--is comfortable making decisions in the heat of the moment and sticking to them with confidence. She doesn't mind bossing people around when she has to. She has to be agile and fearless to grab the ball off the back of a scrum or a ruck, and she needs good reflexes and steady hands.

10 (Flyhalf): Teddy Altman. The flyhalf needs to be a versatile athlete, a natural leader, and physically and mentally tough. She needs good judgment and great hands. She's responsible for calling the plays and running the back line. Major Altman definitely knows how to give orders and how to receive them, and she'd run the back line with confidence, precision, and discipline.

11 (Left Winger): Meredith Grey. A good winger is a powerhouse on the pitch, and she often ends up being the star of the show. A successful play will often involve getting the ball to Meredith so that she can score in the corner. She finishes the work of her teammates, but also does a fair amount of hard work herself. She's ambitious and goal-oriented, and she plays with her head--always making sure she knows where to go and what to focus on.

12 (Inside Center): Maggie Pierce. She's fast and agile, and she loves to run! She's smart, savvy, and good at coming up with creative solutions. She's a good team player who works well with others. She can see the bigger picture and find the holes. Most importantly, she knows when to stick to the playbook and when to improvise.

13 (Outside Center): Amelia Shepherd. Sure, she's a team player who's entirely capable of listening to her flyhalf and playing by the book, but at her core, she's a thrill-seeker who loves the rush and the glory of slipping through a hole in the defensive line and sprinting for the try zone. Also, the two centers absolutely must work well together and be in sync with each other, which makes Amelia an excellent 13 to Maggie's 12.

14 (Right Winger): Lexie Grey. Lexie is quick, agile, and savvy. She's got the skills and the smarts to be a star player like her sister. But since most players are right-handed, the winger on the left almost always ends up seeing more action, scoring more tries, and getting more glory than the winger on the right, which is why Big Grey is at 11, and Little Grey is at 14.

15 (Fullback): Arizona Robbins. The fullback is the team's last line of defense, so you better hope she's a good man in a storm. She holds the team together and leads from behind. She's a versatile, all-purpose athlete who wears many hats, so she needs to be fairly good at a lot of different rugby skills, and she needs to be able to look at the whole field and know where she's needed and what to do.

"Let's Go Ruck - Try Women's Rugby"

Rugby was originally a men's sport and women's rugby has become popular more recently. These days, women's rugby is gaining a higher profile thanks to International tournaments' exposure and financial investment.

The growth in popularity among women attracted women in both developed and emerging nations, being the fastest-growing sport in the world with over 500,000 new players joining every year globally. The game remains an amateur, minority sport but a fast-growing one played in over 80 countries worldwide. It is estimated that by 2026, 40% of the total number of players will be female! Do you want to be one of them?

Join Tracy at Uticuse Hellbenders Rugby (a women's team) located in Syracuse for an evening practice to get a feel for the game. If you love it, you can always return and play with them on a weekly basis. The club bridged the cities of Utica and Syracuse since 2008 and grew the team from a rag-tag group of diverse individuals, former rugby players, and newly interested ones alike to a State-Ranked Competitive Rugby Club.

Both their captains and coach will be on hand to help us with drills and cater the first practice to our experience level! So you have nothing to lose but a fun night of trying a new sport, which you might just want to try again.

Grab a girlfriend and join Tracy and her cousin Paige Amidon, a former SU Rugby player for a night of rucking, mauling, and scrumming!

We'll network after the practice with a drink or two. Part of the cost includes Tracy bringing water bottles and snacks for our attendees. Let's go Ruck!
