Default Don't mention the rugby

As a resident of Queensland and lover of the game I would just like to congratulate the State of Origin team of Queensland in their 30-0 win over New South Wales last night.

What a night of celebration!

I thought it was a good game... they really got up to speed after their first piss poor attempt.
NSW got wiped.

We'll see how everyone does in the third game, eh?

They'd better send the QLD players down to Sydney now - it'll take 'em a while to get over the sense of wonderment at seeing things like jet aeroplanes, automobiles and electricity for the first time.

I'm sure you'll get a ticket, there will be plenty left, unless Queenslanders have bought them all.

It's possible. I think they were 80 people off a record crowd in the stadium last night....

Without doubt the worse thing that the UK has given the world.

Did you see that banner in the crowd at the end of the game? The one that said "Not bad for rednecks, ey Willy?".

Yes - that's how 'eh' was spelt. OMG - talk about admitting who you are...

Now boys, settle down. This is turning into a rugby match...

Really? Worse than, say, cheese rolling?

I like it. What's bad about it?

Yep. Worse than cheese rolling.

It's wank. A non-sport for meatheads. Rugby Union - real rugby - is the sport of kings.
