Vaguely Related Item: Police in Dunedin have confiscated a French rugby fan's rooster. The story does not say whether it is a naked rooster. But we are confident that there will be jokes in the comments involving another term for rooster.

"dave posted this?"
My thought exactly, insomniacthebirthdayboy. I was surprised not to se Judi on the 'posted by' line.
Thanks Dave.

For the record, a rooster, or more correctly, a cockerel, is the emblem of the French national rugby team.
Naked rugby is a lot more difficult to play than the clothed version. In naked rugby there's really only one place where one can get a good grip in a tackle, and any manly man wouldn't be seen dead gripping another man in that place.

Gives a whole new meaning to a "knock-on"...
As to the second post, "I come to pick up my rrrooster" sounds like a euphemism. And with the way he trilled the "r," I'd wonder if alcohol was STILL involved? Also, "the Unsociable Beasts" WBAGNFARB.

Rugby players have a tradition of taking off their jersey/shirt after a score. What do naked ruggers take off?
Posted by: oneblankspace | June 14, 2009 at 12:21 PM
I have to say I would watch this if they broadcast it in the U.S. Mot, do you play???
Posted by: nursecindy | June 14, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Oneblankspace, you're confusing rugby players with footballers, rugger players don't take there jerseys off after scoring on the field. Scoring off the field is another matter entirely.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | June 14, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Nursecindy, I used to play at school and University, many years ago.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | June 14, 2009 at 12:34 PM
"Hands in the scrum" or "reaching in" IS a penalty in rugby... jus' sayin'...

"Has anybody seen my c*ck?"

I suspect fowl play.

I too join the chorus of the amazed (GNFARB) who can't believe Dave posted this and not Judi.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 14, 2009 at 02:48 PM
Why wouldn't Dave post this? It's about a ball game.
Posted by: nursecindy | June 14, 2009 at 03:42 PM
Snigger!

Why do "manly men" always think of the gayest things to do?

How will the cockless Frenchman doodle do?
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | June 14, 2009 at 05:27 PM
"He was getting a bit wobbly on it and we were getting a bit concerned about the rooster..."
He must have been a wee Frenchman to be wobbly on the rooster.

and how many hundreds of pictures did they shoot to get enough sans dangly bits to publish?
Posted by: insomniac | June 14, 2009 at 07:16 PM
Watch out for the All-Blacks. They have a team chant that roughly translates as: Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Ruby is tough enough to play with a uniform. I refuse to try without clothing. Mostly, as Mot pointed out, tackling by runts like me is impossible without the ball carrier wearing a rugged jersey to desperately grasp.

*stares at image #8*
Is that an actual rugby move??
Posted by: wingpup | June 14, 2009 at 09:51 PM
wingpup, I found image # 8 a little strange myself. I don't know much about rugby but I know you wouldn't see that in American football. I was partial to image # 6. Mitch, wouldn't the ball carrier still have something to grasp onto even without the jersey? Or would that be a personal foul?
Posted by: nursecindy | June 14, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Wing and Cindy, rugby CAN put people in some
strange positionsawkward situations, even if wearing a uniform. As Mitch points out, I'm sure it creates even more of these if the people are naked. Mitch, beinga runtsane like you, this would never have entered my mind when I played, either.Posted by: frodolives | June 14, 2009 at 10:25 PM
(Not to mention the fact that I played hooker!)
Posted by: frodolives | June 14, 2009 at 10:26 PM
The All Blacks chant that Mitch had mentioned is called the haka.
Posted by: frodolives | June 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM
The haka has been adopted by many college football teams in the US.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | June 15, 2009 at 03:24 AM
And I thought being forced to do a zulu warrior after my first try was bad.
As a former prop, I would like to know what the seconds held onto when they formed a scrum.

Obligatory: leather balls and and that.
