Just FYI
-
Here in Australia we have a version of rugby called rugby league. It's a simplified version of rugby union for those that find the rules of union a tad complicated. The basic difference is that when a player is tackled in rugby league play stops and everyone gets back in position. If after six plays the team with the ball have not scored a try they give the ball to the other team and it starts again. When the game was invented everyone agreed that five tackles was probably best but in the end they went with six as they wanted to challenge both players and fans mathamatically. Every year there are three games in a seies known as State of Origin between the two states of Australia in which this game is popular, Queensland (known as the cane toads and home of DamianS) and New South Wales (known as the cockroaches home of myself and our infamous MM). This causes lots of people to become very parochial, drink lots of beer and generally act like dickheads untill the entire thing is completly forgotten for another year. Tonight the first of the three games is being played. I've locked the door.
