To my Aussie Friends

Thumbler - dunno when you moved out there mate, but rugby union these days is bloody frightening & when you've got 18-stone flankers lining up with the three-quarters and keeping up with them, you better believe it's in your interest to pass the ball

I've been here two and a half years - lived in the UK for 46 years before that. I'm still learning the language and the spelling

18 stones is nothing - some of the US Football players are well over 300 pounds

BTW - rugby is nothing compared to the true madmen of sport, the guys who play Aussie Rules - utter mayhem on an oval pitch, but DD can explain that one, coz I can't

Agree with you on that one - sheer lunacy.
Incidentally. for the benefit of my American friends, a 'pitch' is a field - nothing to do with Baseball (or rounders)
