My son, the rugby coach is hopefully going to guide his side to a Cup victory and in the process maintain their unbeaten record for the season. 27 and 0 at the moment. What an experience to play at Twickers
However I feel a bit of a bad omen - when I go watch him either playing or coaching they lose
Once was an inter varsity game he played in and the other as coach of a Uni side
But I’m going and hoping the omen is but a myth :)

Well done, Saffex.
I'm sure you must be very proud and will be even more proud on Sunday.
Post some pictures here for us. Would like to see the celebrations. If they're on a 27 streak, getting to 28 is just a formality. Good luck man!!!
PS By the sounds of things you should probably be consulting with your son before posting here :)

All good, Saffex.
Get the pics of the game and then I'll post a guide for you when I'm back in SA next week on how to put them up here.
It's quite simple but does require a few steps.

Sorry, Saffex...was travelling.
1) Save this site to your bookmarks
https://imgbb.com/
2) Open the site and click start uploading
3) Select the image you want to upload
3) Click upload image
4) You will now see that the site has created a URL(looks like a web link) for the image.
5) I normally go where the URL is and click the drop-down menu...then I select "Full HTML" and I copy that link
6) Then go to Ruckers and above the box that you normally type in to make a post, is a row of Icons...one of them looks like a photograph.
7) Type a word or two into the thread first else when you try do the rest of this it may not work and won't upload the image. Then hit enter so that you are in a new line. Click the photograph and it should make a box pop up. Paste the URL that you copied in there and underneath that enter 500 up to 800 for size.
8) Then click send/post or what ever it says on that box.
It can be a bit hit and miss sometimes but normally if you type a word or two first and then enter the image into the thread it should be fine.

Okay so after you get the link on Imgur, you presumably post it under the photo above….do you do anything else, I just get the question mark

When you click on icon of the photo above this box, it already has "http://"...
So I first delete that so the url box is totally empty, then I past the full url from the image hosting site into the box. The hosting site that I linked above tends to work the best for me, and only when I select "HTML full linked" from the drop-down menu as opposed to the default which is "viewer links".
Remember to type a word or two, or even just a couple of full stops into your post first and then hit enter so you're on a new line...and then all the photo uploading stuff. This site doesn't seem to like one posting just a picture in an OP/reply

Mine does that too, Moz.
You'll see when you use the "HTML Full linked" it' has some characters before and after the pre-image that are extra. I normally just delete them before clicking "post"...
The reason I still use "HTML full" is because it's the most consistent.

Poor Piet...his neck is either too big or it's broken.

Ja, I see you made Piet's neck considerably shorter...was that to avoid having an aspect ratio of 1200/40. Very kind of you

What a great day was surprised to see how much support the clubs had
My boys side were very convincing winning 53-19
It was an arm wrestle for the first 30min with the opposition relying heavily on playing it narrow amongst some hefty forwards. Their maul was difficult to stop but the forwards hung in there and once they started to provide the backs with ball it was a different ball game
My boys backs cut the opposition to shreds - very good centres and some clout out wide
Had a good few jugs at Twickers followed by a few more in The Shack which was hired out by the club
Proud day and I was mostly impressed with the standard of play by amateur players
Rugby is alive and well in the lower ranks

Where are the pics, Saffex?
One thing about England, lower leagues are always very well supported. A great mix of government and community involvement. It's why they're always there or thereabouts in so many sports.

Well done.You must be very proud of your sons achievements as a player and a coach,
Another Proud Dad.
