Rugby Time

Darien has been wanting to try rugby for some time but has always been torn between doing lacrosse and rugby and this year he finally crossed over. He was hoping that he would be able to do both but it just wasn't going to work out. He is enjoying it and seems to be doing really well. He is a natural with the tackling and I am sure that having three bothers has something to do with that. LOL

In this game has managed to get three try's. He is a runner and boy can he run.

There is something about those mouth guards. I am sure that there isn't a picture without him playing with it. LOL Sadly, this will be Darien's last game for a while. He is out now because he has injured his knee. He was playing lacrosse at school in gym and hyper extended his knee and has pulled or torn the tendons at the back of his knee. He will be seeing the physiotherapist for the next couple of weeks and if is doesn't start to feel better they might have to send him for an MRI to make sure that there isn't more damage. Darien plays hard and that often leads to injuries. He is hoping that it will heal quickly but the problem is that he doesn't get that he needs to let it get better. It was pretty gross watching the physio do he assessment and seeing how far up she could lift his lower leg and it not hurt and how much it bowed when it really should have stopped. (I am not sure if that makes sense) Hopefully he will be able to be back to the game soon.
