The Rugby World Cup

ere are a few thoughts to consider as the group matches progress :
RUGBY WORLD CUP 2003
Following complaints made to the IRB about the All Blacks being
allowed to motivate themselves by performing the 'Haka' before their games,
other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own. The
IRB Rugby World Cup 2003 Organising Committee has now agreed to the
following
pre-match displays:
- The England team will Morris Dance in a threatening manner.
- The Scotland team will chant "You lookin' at me" before smashing an Iron
Bru bottle over their opponents' heads.
- The Ireland team will split 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 Committee were unable to accept the Welsh suggestion
following representations from the RSPCA.
- Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory,
claim it as their own "Las In-Goals-Areas" and then be forcibly removedby
the English, Scottish and Welsh teams
- Two members of the South African team will claim to be more important than
the other 13 whom they will imprison between the posts whilst theyclaim the
rest of the pitch for themselves.
- The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future years they
will amend the records to show that they were in fact the most important
team in the tournament and Hollywood will make a film called 'Saving No.8
Lyle'.
- Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marseillaise and hold the rest of
he team to ransom.
- The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, sexually harass the female
stewards and then run away, only to pop up later having joined the other
eam.
- The Spanish will sneak into the other half of the pitch, strip it back to
the gravel base and then claim that it was all in line with European
"grassquotas". They will then curl up under the posts and have a kip until
half time, when their appeal for compensation against the UK Government will
be heard.
