Rugby Club? New Member

Hello All,

I just moved to Doha lst week and will be living here at least a year. I live right down the road from the rugby club and was curious as to when they had matches. Although I know little about rugby, it is the closest thing to American Football that i will get.

Also, any other recommendations on things to do. All I have done for the past week is shop.

Thanks

Hamad hospital is fine for er and orthopedics. They have so many car accidents here they are actually pretty experienced

Pleased you enjoyed it. Maybe see you at the game on Friday

So went to my first rugby practice. It was great, they threw me right out there with rest of the guys and I was learning on the fly. Anyways, if I keep doing this a few times a week, I will be in shape in no time.

By the way, in case I need them, where are the best medical facilities in town? Orthopedics/ER?

The fitness is worth doing just for that and you will get to understand it in no time if you dive in at the deep end.

The coaches name is kerry he is a kiwi. Just say hi and get involved.

Can just anyone show up to train or is there any kind of instructional league or something that I can actually participate in?

Think they are redoing the site. If you go to training just ask when the game is. Normally mid afternoon at this time of year. It is the first game in a few weeks so should be busy

....on the rugby field they won't let you wear helmets ala American Football.

I would have thought it was too hot for rugby out there, but since I haven't got to Doha yet, I'm only guessing they play night matches!

Enjoy your time in Qatar...
