Workout 9/24: Hookers & Roast Beast Recipe

So I had my first taste as a hooker this weekend. No not a prostitute. It's a position a rugby position. A little rugby 101 for tonight: A scrum occurs when there is an positional penalty. hence a scrum is called for and 8 men from both teams bind together and engage each other forming a tunnel(2nd picture). The team that was awarded the penalty rolls the ball into the tunnel and each team's hooker at the middle of the scrum tries to "hook" the ball with their feet to the back of the scrum from where play is resumed. The other team can drive over the other team and take the ball if successfull. So essentially you have about 1800 lbs opposing each other. It is a unique challenge to be apart of.
