Rugby World Cup Update:
Seeing how the All Blacks were motivated by performing "The Haka" before their world cup games, the other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own.
The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in the air and attach bells to their ankles for a while before moaning about how they invented the game, and gave it to the world, and how it's not fair that everyone can beat them now.
The Scotland team will chant "You lookin' at me Jimmy?" before smashing an Irn Bru bottle over their opponents heads.
The Ireland team will spilt into two, with the Southern half performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents dressing room.
Unfortunately the Welsh suggestion has been vetoed by the RSPCA.
Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory, claim it as their own "Las In-Goals-Areas" and then be forceably removed by the Stewards.
Two members of the South African team will claim to be more important than the other thirteen whom they will coral between the posts whilst they claim the rest of the pitch for themselves.
The Americans will not be there until half time. In future years they will alter the records to show that they were in fact the most important team in the tournament and Hollywood will make a film called "Saving No8 Lyle".
Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marsaillaise and hold the rest of the side to ransom.
The Italian team will arrive in red cars, sexually harass the female stewards and then run away.
The Spanish will sneak into the other half of the pitch mow it and then claim that it was all in line with the European "grass quotas". They will then curl up under the posts and have a kip until half time.
The Japanese will attempt to strengthen their team by offering good salaries to the key opposition players (over 35) and then run around the pitch at high speed in a highly efficient manner before buying the ground (with a subsidy from the UK Government).
The French will declare they have new scientific evidence that the opposition are in fact all mad. They will then park lorries across the halfway line, let sheep lose in the opposition half and burn the officials.
The Australians will have a barbie before negotiating lucrative singing and TV contracts in the UK. They will then invite their mates to come and live with them in Shepherds Bush & still win the World Cup

Where are you going to find an American who plays rugby? For that matter, where are you going to find an American who knows what rugby is?! *L*

I'm afraid my interest in the World Cup lasted only as long as England were still in. Now I just settle for hurling abuse at both teams, the referees and the touch judges, and want to see both sides kill each other...

"Rugby is sort of like American football except the ball isn't quite as pointy and (the attorneys pay close attention to details like this) YOU WEAR NO SAFETY GEAR WHATSOEVER?!?!?!?!?
I'm afraid we shall never see a good American rugby team. Too many opportunities for lawsuits.
I'll bet Australian rules football could find a following here, with the Extreme Sports crowd.

It's THREE LIONS on the shirt. . . and you're not allowed to sing it unless you're English. Which come to think of it, I'm not. But then I don't sing it. And anyway the song's a football song. And boy did I laugh when England went out of the World Cup last year. Even though I still think David Beckham should have been publicly crucified in Trafalgar Square. And that the game after he was sent off was some of the most exciting football you've ever seen. Oh, well.

No.... this is a spoof.... "Three stripes on the shirt, right near where it say "Umbro".. the white ones show the dirt... the grey one not as much though.."
And since according the people who's company I was keeping i'm an honorary brit, I will sing whatever the hell bleeding "English" song I want to, thank you very much. And I knew it was about football, but I felt like singing it anyways, so = P on you.
