Auditor by Day, Footy Player by Night

Jeff decided in his down time from auditing he'd enroll in the most full-contact, violent, pad-less sport available in Brisbane--- Rugby. Yep, that's correct, Jeff joined the KPMG Rugby Team. Fun, painful, and stressful times for both of us. Me, mainly stress. Jeff, mainly pain. The other, bigger teammates, mainly fun. Good news- the KPMG team won! Bad news- two players were carted off the field on stretchers. Good news- neither of them were Jeff. Bad news- one of them was almost me.


Highlights of his first rugby game are below.

The team warming up. Jeff is #10

More warm-up or perhaps gymnastics?!?




Yes, I made him wear a mouth guard. I tried to make him wear a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, and shin guards. Thankfully his mom is in dentistry, therefore I won with the mouthguard.

Snapshots of the brutality... I pray we have daughters





This is not a huddle, this is the precursor to a dog pile


This is the aftermath of the game... and the winning team!
