This should make you smile!!!

any player in rugby can kick the ball, even a prop

except they tend to miss...

And in rugby, you cannot pass forward and obstruction is an offence not a pre-requisite

if you watch a lot of southern hemisphere rugby, those seem to be becoming less of an offence, much like feeding the ball in scrums.

Oh you cynic! But I agree on feeding, feeding it straight seems to be an irrelevance nowadays, the scrum half doesn't even pretend.

Did you see that guy who won £250,000 at a Wasps game, just had to kick a ball 40 yards with no boots, and hit the crossbar. Picke at random out of the crowd, and he succeeded. And he was a hooker!

...And he was a hooker!

Over here we call male hookers "gigalos". Or do y'all mean sumpin' different by "hooker".

Yeah - not a bad days work for a guy who lives with his parents. He'll probably drink it all...
(it was Sarries v. SA, I think - or Springbok A vs. Springbok B teams...)

Oh Greg, don't be dumb. Everyone knows the hooker binds the front row, using the props to ... err, prop him up, giving the scrum a solid base.
