Okay, so I don’t like sport – I think I’ve made that pretty clear. And rugby being a team sport ranks alongside football as a sport I will actively avoid, but even I couldn’t come up with this claptrap.
The changes are being introduced by Surrey Rugby, a constituent body of the Rugby Football Union (RFU), for those in the six to 11 age group.
Under the rules, teams must also be “mixed ability”, and must be weakened if they are winning too easily and there must be no overall winner.
Seriously, what the fucking fuckitty fuck?
XX teams must also be “mixed ability” XX
So, are they allowed to tackle “Wheelychair Charly” or not?
And if the goaly has an epoleptic fit at the stumps, does a try count whilst he is still flapping around like a landed cod on speed?
“… a landed cod on speed”, beer wasted out of my nose. Thanks.
What sort of sick minded parent encourages kids (presumably mainly boys) aged 6 to 11 to play rugby?
There, fixed that for you 😀
All must have prizes! I despair…
Presumably the idea is to raise a generation of losers while being too sensitive to identify them as such. I don’t like organised sport either, but I can at least see that the point of it is to try your hardest, train and improve and, hopefully, win. If you aren’t going to do that then the game really is going to be a pointless waste of time.
It’s a pointless waste of time anyway, but this makes it even more pointless.
This is even worse than forcing the unwilling & unable (& frankly totally bolshie) to “Play the game” shudder
