    Meh! to…"Pieter-Steph's brutal injury list.” Now, let me regale you with my own tales of rugby trauma:
    1. I pulled a muscle once while yawning during the national anthem.
    2. Stubbed my toe on the coffee table while watching the game
    3. Pulled a muscle reaching for chips during halftime and
    4. I stubbed my toe again on the way to the fridge for a post-match snack.
    5. I have severe eyestrain from rolling my eyes at the referee's decisions every time I watch rugby.
    6. My bruised palms from excessive facepalming at missed conversions is still hurting.
    7. I suffered temporary voice loss from yelling at the TV many times.
    And don't get me started on the emotional trauma of watching England lose, called severe disappointment strain (A recurring English fan condition).
    Unlike Peter-Steph, you don't hear me going on about these catastrophes, do you? Well, except now. But don’t worry…The physio says I should make a full recovery... just in time for the next match!
