[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 192609"] Its funny because you sit there in Irish bars or English pubs abroad in Scandinavia and Germany watching the rugby and a family native to the country you are visiting, be it Denmark, Norway or Germany come in and see what is on the television. They look at it for a long while, looking quite bemused at the whole spectical and at how popular it is (especially if its a big international at Twickenham) before asking "is this..rugby?" "Yes, it is!" I smile before looking back "great, isn't it? Why haven't you chaps started playing?" At this point, the usual reaction is to laugh that squeamish laugh that people make to sound polite while really being embarrased and unsure "oh! no no no! We couldn't possibly play, we like football and handball here..." [/QUOTE]
