I am a 30 year old male with two children and great wife and play semi professional rugby. My wife does not approve of me playing this sport but it is a childhood passion and I can't let go. We have moved to a new county and I have joined the local club, which apparently had an outbreak of herpes. So it is now part of the initiation for new club players to attend a sex clinic for STD and STI tests.I am a 30 year old male with two children and great wife and play semi professional rugby.

You really are gullible sorry but your being hazed. Would you really want to play rugby with a load of syphilitic herpes ridden losers and then go back to your lovely supportive wife and children. I also doubt that the RFU would allow them to play as its putting others in danger. Get a grip

Are you sure they're not just taking the pi*s??

Hey Aime -- Have you told your wife this ? Be honest with your wife man, before asking us.

whats the problem? even if it is hazing what does that matter? just go do the tests... unless they're invassive. If they're invassive find a new club where herpes isn't a stumbling block for playing rugby.

Irish sound rite. Dis as gotta b a case of hazing!
