[QUOTE="DNAPlay, post: 61039"] Gay-Guy, I think you hit the nail on the head when you spoke about the differing degrees of skill levels for JLR. A good player would be thrashed by a brilliant player, who in turn would be annihilated by a master. Never since has there been a rugby game, or any game for that matter, where one could learn so many skills over the course of a few years, and obliterate any opposition who wasn't as learned as you. Of course all this would be pretty crap if you didn't actually have a mate whom grew up learning the game as you did. Luckily I did... Many memories stem from the thousands of matches we've played against eachother, and many tables, chairs, hearts were broken on days when EVERYTHING just worked, and I'd beat him 10 matches in a row, only for him to do the same to me the following day. I remember I had a psycholgical edge over him when I'd select Australia, and Jason Little's first touch of the ball I'd ALWAYS hoist a "huge Gary Owen" and start singing "Australia" by the Manic Street Preachers, at the top of my voice... Everytime I hit "I....Wanna fly high until it hurts.." he'd be SO determined to tackle Little when he regathered that he'd forget everything else...and the result would usually be the same - Little would come out of the mess unscathed, with the ball tucked neatly under his arm, and jinx his way to another try... My mate would sit their in silent fury, while I'd already be on...."In Australia...!!!!...why aren't you singing with James? It's a good song...you're awfully silent..." Memories are made of this game...and no game since has illicited such amazing anecdotes... [/QUOTE]
