    Yanks playing rugby - what - without a 100lb of body armour including a hardshell helmet........ not likely.

    Still - maybe Hollywood could make a rugby film and show the world how they invented the game. They like twisting history like that in their films dont they?? ;)

    I Thought they d already done this with "INVICTUS" with Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar and Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela. Shame they couldn't make South Africa the USof A.

    Still at least Jon Bon Jovi cracked the Enigma code.

    They were originally from Scotland, planted in Ireland to steal land from the native Irish, then they did exactly the same in America. And remember it was one country back in the 1700s, no such 'country' as NI and some will argue the same now.

    All together now 1, 1, 1 2 3 4 'The Sash my Father Wore.'

    Yanks playing rugby seems as tragic as Brits playing American Football. Stop buggering about with minority sports.
