10 things that SERIOUSLY annoy rugby players

It doesn’t matter at which level you play rugby, these 10 things will always annoy you until the day you finally hang up your boots…and probably after.

1. Keeping a Cool Head

Standing there respectfully whilst the referee berates you, even though you know that you are in the right and they are completely wrong.

2. Just This

When you dive over to score a try, not realising it's a bog.

3. The Whistle

There's nothing more heartbreaking than when you run the length of the pitch to score a glorious try only to have to sprint back to where you started from because you didn’t hear the referee’s whistle.

4. Empty Bottles

Trying to get a drink of water from every bottle during a break in play only to find they’re all empty!

5. Seriously not being able to fit into jeans

The struggle is real.

6.Touchline 

The moment you realise you’re about to be driven over the touchline during a tackle and there’s absolutely sod all you can do about it.

7. Smelly Shirts

When whoever washed the kit last week didn’t let the shirts dry properly so you end up having to put on a damp smelly shirt.

8. Lateness

Warming up only to find the opposition/referee will be late

9. BRIGHT BOOTS

Why would you do that?!

10. The Day After

The day after a game is never fun.
