[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 731420, member: 61265"] this may be true or untrue, but the French have a claim to inventing the game of rugby a game called Soule which used an inflated pigs stomach as a ball dating back to 1174/77 in the Thomas Beckett era, apparently when the ball was punctured they sold it to the Scots so they could make Haggis!!!! The game was often played in a mare (bog) and was apparently very violent probably decendends of one or two French front row i know of later years, but there you go, true or untrue who knows but interesting all the same.
