Do they swap shirts at the end like in football? And if they do is it not like watching the Female German Shotput team take their kit off?

Dunno, never seen a match

But not many of them look like German shotput-ers - lots of super pretty girls who can hold their beer.

Do they France around with each others panties on their heads, light each others darts etc?

Rugby. A very strange game.

We put a ladies team together at our club about 10 years ago and it was mayhem. The amount of bitching that went on and struggled to put teams together as a lot of the women were having relatioships with each other and then neither would turn up if they split up it was a total nightmare and got scrapped. Being a small town team it was more like a dating agency to meet other women.

Hilarious but pain in the ass at the same time. Needless to say it only lasted 2 or 3 seasons

Yes, I imagine you would think that.

Dad does it at Provincial level... he can't cope with the local club stuff, like you say too much bitching and relationships etc.

Where did you get your white stick?

Its issued as part of your referees kit. As I progress through the ranks I can get a guide dog as well.

[Netraider]

Good show.

Nice to know they've got everything sorted.

Also issued is a thick skin, to deflect false accusations, the speed and grace of a cheetah, to keep up with the pace of the game, an ego the size of which can't be explained, to allow referees to talk knowledgeably and al length about a subject that they know nothing about.

A very good system, although I did have to by my own red and yellow cards.

[Mich the Tester]

Forwards generally make better refs than backs, even if they might struggle to keep up. It's because they know where and when to look to see the dirty stuff.
