The Rugby Player
The rugby player A bleeding nose, a broken foot, a dislocated thumb, nothing really serious, so point me at that scrum. v the Footballer He pulled my hair and tugged my shirt, then broke a fingernail, get a grip ref, send him off, I'm feeling rather pale.

Chuckle and wonder how the NFL sissies would do matched against a rugby team. It obviously would be a new game in fairness to both, but I’m betting the NFL would come out bruised.

If you are familiar with American football and baseball, even just a little, I suggest you watch George Carlin’s video on the differences between the two games. It’s hysterical, even for non-Yanks! 🏈 ⚾️

Hope you enjoy. I loved Carlin; he was terribly irreverent but hysterical and spot on about everything.

LOL… so true! Although rugby scares me. Would it be so bad to wear a bit of protective gear – especially on the noggins?
