GOLDEN OLDIE COMMANDMENTS

Respect the rule forbidding tackles an players wearing GOLD or PURPLE shorts.

     Give proper respect to the Golden Oldie Commandments:

  1. I will play rugby for the game's sake.

  2. I will not remember the score at the end of the game.

  3. If I "made it" during my playing days I will not use that to embarrass others.

  4. If I didn't make it during my playing days I will not try and use Golden Oldies to do so.

  5. I will at all times during the game respect the older and more decrepit members of the other team.

  6. I will follow the Golden Oldies philosophy of fun, irreverence and self-indulgence.

  7. I will be an ambassador of Golden Oldies and always spread the good word.

  8. I will never lose sight of the rule to make friends and .renew acquaintances in exotic places.

  9. I will always remember that I'm at far greater risk at what I may do to myself or have done to me socially than anything which may happen to me on the field.

There are only nine Golden oldies commandments because with advancing age there is a tendency for the memory to fade.
