International Ruby Board (IRB)Decision / 6 Nations Ruling
IRB Decision Following complaints made to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed
to motivate themselves by performing the 'Haka' before their games,
other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own.
The IRB has now agreed to the following pre-match displays:
*
The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in
the air and attach bells to their ankles before moaning about how they
invented the game and gave it to the world, and how it's not fair that
everyone still thinks New Zealand are the best team in the world.
*
The Scotland team will chant "You lookin' at me Jimmy?" before
smashing an Iron Bru bottle over their opponents' heads.
*
The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half
performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional
route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents'
dressing room.
*
Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition
territory, claim it as their own "Las In-Goals-Areas" and then be
forcibly removed by the match stewards.
*
Two members of the South African team will claim to be more
important than the other 13 whom they will imprison between the posts
whilst they claim the rest of the pitch for themselves.
*
The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, sexually harass the
female stewards and then run away.
*
The French will declare they have new scientific evidence that
the opposition are in fact all mad. They will then park lorries across
the halfway line, let sheep loose in the opposition half (much to the
delight of the WELSH) and burn the officials.
*
The Australians will have a barbie before negotiating lucrative
singing and TV contracts in the UK. They will then invite all their
mates to come and live with them in Shepherds Bush.
*
Unfortunately the Committee were unable to accept the Welsh
suggestion following representations from the RSPCA.
