Right now we have 5 squads inside the club : * Hairy Crabs (1st squad, 15s/10s) * Hermits (2nd squad, 15s/10s) * Freshies (1st year in the club, 15s/10s) * Horseshoe crabs (veterans 15s) * Jenny crabs (women 7s contact)

It's pretty easy to find a spot for any kind of player, we even have people that never played. Just come around this weekend and ask for Stefan (me)

No problem here, French always have a hard time in the rugby world despite being at the level with any other big country of rugby. All the "stand up if you hate the French" from HK 7s or jokes in the Crabs despite composing more than a third of the squad won't tame my love for the game ::p

I see more as jealousy because on top of our very special flair, well, we get the ladies!

We have team jerseys that we sell. If you want to see some of our jerseys you can check them at the Big Bamboo on Nanyang lu (they've been sponsoring us for several years now).

If you want to get introduced to that gentleman activity, you should come around (not mentioning the drinking and the huge green space that we can freely enjoy!)

Saw your ad on craigslist and sent a mail but no answer yet. I'm interested by that little fellow.

This was my third year and this is definitely one of the best tours for us EVERY YEAR!!

well 10s is kind of in-between 15s and 7s, so you still have breakout phases, rucks and real scrums from 15s but the defense is key and the game is quite fast paced like in 7s.

As a 15s player, I can cope with 10s but feels like 7s is a complete different game.

I think that we have a lot of 10s in Asia because it's a middle ground between 15s (classic foreigner style) and 7s (mix between olympics and number of local potential players).

We actually created a 10s league in China and are playing our first rounds this weekend in Shanghai (Beijing played them two weeks ago). I'll post some updates if people are interested ::)

We even managed to go through the tournament without taking one single point. Quite a clean win ::)

If you are in Xiamen the weekend of the 12, there is a nice 10s rugby competition on the oldest rugby pitch of China on Gulangyu island. This rugby festival is followed by an epic beach party. I'm playing for the Shanghai hairy crabs (it is a special delicacy over here) and we're going there en masse.

I try to find a place that could be recommended, like anywhere else it should be fairly easy to find a martial center but I'd like to find a good one.

As complement of the '<<<', I usually use the good old cat + EOF to do kind of the same thing but with formatted input.

$ cat <<EOF >file
whatever you want here
and more

General rule of self defence, do not carry any weapon you don't know how to use properly. General rule in China, do not carry a weapon at all. Police will generally hardly side with you, don't make it easier for them.

Thanks, very interesting read, I'll incorporate some of this in my training.

I have the mental, I really push it hard, I just can't seem to see any improvement. I can do 25/30 quality push ups in under a minute but then I quickly slow down and the last 3-4 are made out of mental. Everything else in that test is easy for me except for that (I'm playing full back).

So you're playing in Hong Kong (HKCC I think). Would you be interested in touring in China? (Shanghai Hairy Crabs here)

Voilà un assortiment de blagues qui me semblent très Française et difficile à traduire la plupart du temps.

Ce sont deux œufs en train de cuire dans une poêle, l'un dit à l'autre "il fait sacrément chaud ici!!" et l'autre hurle "AAAAAAAAAAAAH UN ŒUF QUI PARLE!!!"
Qu'est-ce qu'un canif? C'est un p'tit fien (the trick here is that "canif" in French means pocket knife and "caniche" is a poodle, so you replace the "ch" in "chien" by "f" and you have a word trick that does not mean anything but is kind of funny)
Ce sont deux types dans un bar, l'un a des bananes dans les oreilles. Le premier lui dit "tu as des bananes dans les oreilles!!", le second répond "pardon, tu peux répéter?", le premier hurle "TU AS DES BANANES DANS LES OREILLES". le second "désolé, je ne t'entends pas, j'ai des bananes dans les oreilles".
C'est l'histoire d'un mec qui rentre dans un café, PLOUF! ("PLOUF" is an onomatopoeia that represents the sound of something falling in a liquid. Would be kind of the equivalent of "SPLASH" in English)
Quelle est la différence entre un canard? Les deux pattes se ressemblent, surtout la gauche.
Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'une nife? Ben c'est la maison du p'tit fien ("niche" is kennel, to be used with the "canif" joke but said apart)
Comment faire rentrer un éléphant dans un réfrigérateur en trois mouvements? C'est simple, tu ouvres la porte, tu mets l'éléphant dedans, tu fermes la porte.
Comment faire rentrer une girafe dans un réfrigérateur en quatre mouvements? Tu ouvres la porte, tu enlèves l'éléphant, tu mets la girafe, tu fermes la porte.
Comment tu sais qu'un hippopotame est venu rendre visite à la girafe? Aux traces de patte dans le beurre.
Comment on appelle un ascenceur au Japon? En appuyant sur le bouton comme partout.

Ce sont des blagues gentilles, sans vulgarité ::)

Edit: format and typo

Upboat pour la blague sur le café, une de mes préférées.

I think his chinos are dark brown, which would actually make more sense in this outfit than navy imho.
