If he doesn't drop the ball then it's fine and a bit of fun. Ryan Hoffman, an Aussie who plays for Wigan, scored a try near the end of the game on Friday with a swallow dive. In the interview after the match he said that it's going back into the pocket as his dad back home won't be too impressed with it. Oh, and going back to the original topic, was there a tournament between six nations that finished this weekend? Who won it?

I would have thought the "look at me" individualism of the swallow dive was against the whole ethos of team work and "us not me" spirit that rugby prides itself on. More NFL than rugby if you ask me.

I thought I was doing pretty well but all everyone kept saying was, "Nice try." Condescending bastards.

It has naff all to do with egg chasing. from Wikipedia: Usage in rugby union "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" has been sung by rugby players and fans for some decades,[4] but became associated with the English national side, in particular, in 1988. Coming into the last match of the 1988 season, against Ireland at Twickenham, England had lost 15 of their previous 23 matches in the Five Nations Championship. The Twickenham crowd had only seen one solitary England try in the previous two years and at half time against Ireland they were 0-3 down. However during the second half England scored six tries to give them a 35-3 win. Three of the tries came in quick succession from Chris Oti, a black player making his Twickenham debut. A group from the Benedictine school Douai started to sing a rugby club favourite – the gospel hymn "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" – in honour of their new hero, large sections of the crowd joined in. The song is still regularly sung at matches by supporters.[4][5][6] There are associated gestures, sometimes used in a drinking game, which requires those who wrongly perform the gestures to buy a round of drinks.[7][8] We used to sing it a lot back in the day, obv once England commandeered it that stopped and was replaced by the new standard of "You can stick your f****** chariot up your a***" ;) |
