RUGBY UNION is the national game of Wales. We used to be pretty good at it ‚ now .... well, sometimes. I can't understand why people bother with soccer when they could play rugby. |
| The object of a game of Rugby Union is to score more points than the opposing team as a result of carrying, passing or kicking the ball. At its best it is a fast-moving spectacle with powerful forwards battling for possession and magical weaving and jinking by fast-thinking backs with quicksilver passing. At its worst it is a war of attrition between static forwards with stop-start play punctuated by interminable penalty kicks, awarded by a petty-fogging referee. | |
a Brief Description of the Game
Team Positions
| SJOEL {roughly pronounced "shool"} is a game, popular in Holland, and perhaps related to the English "shove ha'penny". Sjoelen requires great skill but it can also be played by novices; it can be played with equal opportunity regardless of age or gender; but, be warned, it is highly addictive! |
