I'm putting a new background in, I don't like my design and I'm highlighting Jonah's face. I'm leaving a link at the bottom of my page regarding Jonah's untimely death. He is my favorite out of all the rugby players I've read about.

My Daughters boyfriend is a rugby player, coaches rugby and runs several charities helping children that have had a tough time. I wanted to do a painting thanking him for being such a good friend to our family and our community here in Tulsa Oklahoma.

I started studying rugby so I could could carry on a conversation with my daughter's boyfriend, they've been dating now for 1.5 years. As I was researching rugby, which I knew nothing about the sport, I fell in love with the All blacks team and how they start the game. Video below, their tribal song and dance gives me chills. I think it wakes the warrior in me and the men are so manly too.
