It all boils down to: bunch of over-steroided men dress up in padding, go out on the field to throw a dead pig around and jump on each other like a pile of leaves, just to experience the sheer prohibited pleasure of slapping each other on the ass when all is said and done.

I think soccer makes a lot more sense, myself.

I think most sports involving a bunch of men/women divided into two teams, chasing somekind of (usually) roundish-shaped object makes no sense what so ever, no matter what label you put on it.

Time to invent som new sports me think!

Hoiw about... um... full-contact poetry?

But yes, badly worded tho my reply was, I had worked out that you're an Aussie.

PS. I have had little sleep, and much exercise. If I sound terse, I'm just saving energy

Why not? We seem to let everyone else into the country.

Haven't we all? Although perhaps, while I was on the defense at such a club, you were on the offense? Hmmmmmmm
