Deaf rugby is a project born with the idea of inclusion in mind. Just because someone has a disability doesn’t mean they can’t play sports. This will definitely be a different experience for me as I have never played sports with other deaf athletes. The team consisted mostly of soccer players whom have never played rugby before and two very experienced rugby players; me being one of them. Lucky for the team, I am a back player and the other guy is a forward player.
