That's just awesome!

[Southern Breeze]

Still a classic, no matter how many times I've seen it. A search on You Tube using " William Lawsons " will find the other ones.

Have to mention this one. My eldest surviving brother always was the "super macho" type. . . . after seeing his first rugby match was most impressed. Came to the conclusion that US Football players were a bunch of sissies compared to he Rugby players. I just smiled and let him ramble on.

I LOVE that commercial! Brilliant!! If you don't know about the New Zealand "All Blacks" rugby tradition, search YouTube for "Haka" to see where the idea came from. There are some GREAT Hakas to be seen!

I particularly like this one because the Tongans respond with their own war chant:

GDub that is a good one. Sadly here (Va) our rugby coverage nowadays is pretty few and far between.

Southern Breeze thanks for the heads up. The other commercials are pretty amusing as well.

If I can't find a friend with Setanta sports that day, I get my fix here http://rugbyzone.mediazone.com/Channels/Rugby.aspx they even have matches on demand.

playing ruggers in a kilt, man that would not be cool, there is a fine tradition down here, that is deeply ingrained in the game, which unfortunately the world stage has slowly removed, but is still conducted every sat during winter;
Rucking, the fine art form of destroying the opposition for putting their hands or body on or blocking the ball. wearing a kilt and getting rucked, oh so bad an idea.
when i was a kid we had plenty of people that needed new jersey's after games due to some "revenge rucking" for a big hit or try etc etc...
