This may be my first ever rugby post, but this guy deserves some attention. First, he waylays a guy like nobody's business, and then makes the greatest "Who? Me?" defense in the history of ever. Then a teammate of the fallen soldier comes running in only to go down like he was hit by Chuck Liddel.
Edit: An astute fake talk show host just pointed out that this wasn't rugby. My double fake bad.
And I can't help but remember my first encounter with a rugby guy. Me and buddy were over at some girls' apartment in college when their upstairs neighbors (guys) drop by to visit with the girls. We tried to chit-chat but somehow one of the guys worked into the conversation very quickly that he played rugby.
"Yeah, it's a pretty tough sport. You've got to be in shape," he said.
Ooooooh. Stand back. But then he followed it up with this gem: "We lift weights quite a bit in the apartment. I hope we're not making too much noise."
I can still remember my friend and I exchanging the most not-so-subtle glances at one another as we both thought the same thing. That's that been many, many years ago.

How can anything so rough be so patently gay?
Did you haul your 5ft. 6inch ass out of there?
You are such a sports genius....
This is a clip from an Aussie Rules Football game, not rugby.

Rugby is another idiots version of that red-neck extreme fighting crap, where the 2 guys are in a ring fenced with chicken wire.
Everyone knows that rugby doesn't require any true athletic ability, like high school, college or professional football. Also, those Australian guys look a bit light in the loafers with their tight short-shorts, grabbling each other and running about. Yeah, that rugby is a puss game, not a man's game like high school/college/professional football football.
I'm sure "tough guy 11:07" would have gone down (pun intended) faster than the guy in the video when faced with a jaw jack like that.
many, many, many, many years ago
;)
11:07 seems to have no understanding of the athleticism and violence of Aussie Football. The length of ones shorts in no way indicates ones "gayness." American football is played at a much slower pace with participants armored in helmets and all sorts of padding. American football is the game for pussys compared to these guys.
jarhead and 11:52 must be soccer/"football" wimps that never played a man's game: USA football
11:07
And I'm sure you're still holding on to the "glory days" of riding the pine playing at some broke-ass 3A high school...
Probably about 38 and still boring all of your family and friends with stories of your "heroics" just like the uncle in Napoleon Dynamite.
"Man! If they only would have called my number on that play we would have been champs!!"
What a joke. How's the rock hauling business these days?
Jarhead:
Calm down man.
Take a few of your meds, mellow out. Go sit in your Mercedes, roll the window down. Smell the leather.
Call your shrink.
Watch a John Wayne movie.

I played one season of Rugby in college (Texas Rugby Union). Went from clueless rookie to starting games as a clueless right prop.
After that first season, I started playing in a "Sevens" league (fewer players even more running) and decided my surgically repaired knee was in major danger. So much for that professional rugby career. The only thing I excelled at was the drinking.
It is a pretty tough game all around, but for the most part, no punkass cheap shots like that one. Straight up fight was OK, but rare. No neck/head tackles either.
Yeah Australian Rules Football looks pretty odd, but no possible way could I have played that game. Those guys have an amazing combination of strength, speed, endurance and toughness.
Now, soccer (the other football) . . . THAT is a gay sport. Too many faked injuries any time there is even the slightest contact. Wimps. Waiving around little yellow and red cards, jeesh.
I must have hit the nail on the head.
You hit your nail on the head on a regular basis.
Y'all cut Jugs some slack - he's freaked out that his investment schemes are back-firing, the housing market has tanked, he's too dumb to know how to start a lawnmower and he's having to make two McMansion mortgages.
Ben,
you put waaaaaay too much effort into "trying" to rip folks like jarhead.
Jealousy rears it's ugly head in the form of a post at 7:42pm.
While I'm bumping my gums why don't you state your name and home town as Jarhead has before? You know it's a matter of fear not privacy or blah,blah,you would be afraid to put your name with the things you are saying and you know it and if you are good with that,well I am too.
Wonder if he works in the Sams or Albertsons dist. center?
Hi Mr Honcho,word to you and yours.
So what if The Aussie rule fags and rugby players don't wear pads? I've been golfing for years and haven't worn pads.
