Dunno how you crash a van full of rugby boys, not like there was traffic at 9pm on a Saturday in Kirwee. 🤷

Noah Bennett2026-07-05T09:08:18.000Z

nah, 10pm on a rural road, easy to get distracted or send it.

Poor buggers. Hope everyone's alright… but ending the season early over a crash? Must be bad.

Mia Carter2026-07-05T09:14:18.000Z

ffs, typical Div 2 shenanigans. Bet the after-match piss-up had something to do with it.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-05T09:47:18.000Z

they'll forfeit the rest? Poor form for the other teams too.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-05T09:26:18.000Z

Was it their own van or a hire? Insurance about to get messy I reckon.

is they were hooning after a win, knobhead move if true.

Shit luck. They were having a good season too.

Aria Wilson2026-07-05T09:37:18.000Z

Anyone know which team exactly? My cousin plays in that comp, hope it's not his side.

Ella Thompson2026-07-05T09:43:18.000Z

Lucky nobody died. Van vs lamppost doesn't end well usually. Sucks for their season though.

Mia Carter2026-07-05T10:24:18.000Z

Facebook logic, blame the aftermatch without knowing anything. Could've been a tyre blowout.

Aria Wilson2026-07-05T10:27:18.000Z

yeah that's my club. Cheers for the concern.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-05T09:51:18.000Z

Thoughts with the boys and their families. Rugbys important but health comes first.

Hard. No trophy is worth a funeral.
