2003 old boy. We are talking Rugby.
As you bring it up, remind me when Scotland last won the football world cup, or anything significant for that matter.Just saying like.

Modern rugby is not about singing your national sing song louder than the other lot, it's not about 'knocking out the English would be a big bonus', as one of the Scots players suggested, it's not about dreaming of being Mel Gibson in some tulipty film about Bannockburn and it´s also not about sending skivvies up and down the touchline to fiddle with the ball, MR JOHNSTON!
It's about keeping your gob shut and winning your matches, which, worryingly, is precisely what NZ and SA have been doing.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Originally posted by Arturo Bassick View PostCould you explain "perenially get humped" because I seem to remember England getting to semis, finals and even winning on one occasion
Australia, South Africa, France, England, and New Zealand are, I believe, the only nations ever to have won the RU WC, and I am not even sure about the Frogs.
Outside of that there are a slack handful of smaller nations, comprising Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Argentina, Italy who have any real credentials. The rest are just making up what still constitutes a real lack of numbers.
This was the first time that Scotland, a nation in which Rugby is played by nobody outside of a few pretentious Public Schools, and a raft of hyperactive bull-necked sheep-farmers in the Border region, have ever failed to reach the quarter finals.
Says it all about what is a fringe activity designed for those, generally without the raw skills needed for more graceful and athletic pursuits.
The little interest that the rest of the civilised world has in this lardassed activity was nearly strangled out of them by watching England's dreadfully tedious victory in 2003. It is forever destined to remain firmly in the shadows of mainstream sport, thanfully. And the wholly predictable way that this year's tourney is panning out is simply further testament to that inescapable truth.
Now get on with it and let's get back to the Footy!!!“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

I thought 'perenially get humped' was the aim of marrying someone, which for some people just ends in perennially not getting humped.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
