The video says it all really!!!
Much as I love most of football, the one bit I can not understand is the diving and pretending to be injured! You either are, or you aren't!! Why pretend?? Pass a new law in football that anyone faking it, gets a good 30 sec kicking from the opposition!! I think it would soon stop!
Welcome to my blog, hopefully a light hearted but at times interesting look at the rugby world! it will also feature my unbelievably interesting life, in connection with the awesome rugby players that I frequently meet!!Please feel free to comment, agree, laugh, throw hard objects at your screen, or probably most commonly just scratch your head ( or any other part of your anatomy) and wonder how the hell did that fat **** ever play for England!! Enjoy!!

ROFL!
I saw this late last year, its awesome, especially with the "magic water" that gets squirted all over the offending area.
Did you ever use magic water Will? I bet Ieuan did.
Also, sorry for the double post, but in the RWC 2003 bit, you see how awesome our rucking was?! I forgot just how many turnovers Australia gave away in that game! Intense!
Peter,
being the hard bastard that I am, I never had magic water!
I left the field a few times and cried, but never magic water!!!
It's a shame this is really only going out to the converted. There are a lot of 'soccer' players (sorry, supporters) I'd like to see this. Maybe after November there'll be a few more converts to rugby - or perhaps just frightened away.
The thing is this is easy to referee. In every real injury the player remains motionless, rolling "a la Ronaldo" with a limb flapping in the breeze is not a natural act and likely to increase the discomfort.
Footie refs should know this and punish the players.
I fear "a good 30 sec kicking from the opposition" in football with their Gucci shoes and handbags will not be the same as being run-over by the All Black front 5!
Mark.
