One for the rugby fans!

courtesy of friends(?) in the Southern Hemisphere!!


The England team's training session was delayed today for nearly two hours at Telstra Stadium.
One of the players, while on his way back to the dressing room happened to look down and notice a suspicious looking, unknown white powdery substance at the end of the field. Coach Clive Woodward immediately suspended practice while the Police were called in to investigate.
After a complete field analysis, the Police determined that the white substance, unknown to the players, was the try line. Practice was resumed when the officials decided that it was unlikely that the team would encounter the substance again.

Hugh .......I need a counter-attack....urgently!!  please ;)   ;D

Will this do, MagpieDi?

As Clive Woodward pointed out to the press, a scoring line this wide was only necessary for teams who couldn`t find someone good enough to aim a kick accurately through the smaller gap between the two upright posts in the centre of the line.  As long as the Australian goalposts remain standing England will have no need of a tryline.

As Ian Botham once said of test cricket - "What better than to beat the Aussies in Melbourne in front of 100,000 convicts", and I suppose the same applies to Sydney.
