The article says he jogs and goes to the gym most days. I love that, an old dude doing what he loves and obviously staying in good nick as a result.
I stopped playing at 35, not enough time to train, two small people and a couple of niggly injuries. I now feel rather ashamed
Any over 40s on here still playing?

I was 'hyper' active in my younger days.
Came to a sudden halt in my fifties.
Doc told me I'd worn myself out.
So much for keep active and stay fit and healthy.
It doesn't work for us all!
I'm now medically disabled and consuming huge quantities of powerful pain killers to stop myself from being suicidal.

Gave up some years ago, miss it very very much. However, I went down the 'occasional pub match' route which is about the most risky type of rugby you can ever play. Most people over-aged, over-weight, over-confident and overly tanked up. At least they were in the eraly 90s. Very bad neck injury in a scrum and enough was enough. Now I keep to sensible non-contact sports like Alpine Skiing and more leisurely pursuits like cycling up mountains Monsieur Le Grenadier
I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....
