I figure you must be pretending. The players seem to spend most of their time with their heads together in tight little circles (planning strategies?)... then, when the ball
finally gets out on the field, everyone falls on it at once. What's the excitement in that, I ask you?
ah sheesh Shelia... errrrrrr. MzOlga, you'd need to ask the hooker!

it is a fantastic game - ooooooooooooh... can't begin to describe the excitement watching the game - tremendous skill, power and strength and on the whole, good sportsmanship - gentlemanly - tho on the pict can be quite hard to watch at times - brutes... BRUTES... and lots of cauliflower ears!
Huge dedicated fan of the Union. LOVE IT!
Jonny... oh my Jonny <sigh>
and Joost van der Westhuizen (SA) <sighs again> - tho he went a little errrrrrr.... off the rails when he stopped playing!
not so keen on my little fella playing these days - he needs a little beef on him - nasty accident at the weekend with his pal ambulanced out to hospital and some broken ribs for another mate. S-boy wanted to go in from the sideline and pummel for his mates - I think I have that delight of cringing and looking through my hands this weekend if he's able to play. Ooof
Seriously tho... MAHHHHHHHVELLOUS GAME DARLIN' - uber cool
(oh, we're Union (15 men) , not League (13 men)
