Rugger Boys Jagerbomb

What with it being played in New Zealand, therefore the matches kicking off in the morning, you might not have noticed that the rugby world cup has begun. If you’ve missed the start then don’t worry as it goes on for a whole seven weeks.
Many times I’ve given it a go, but I just can’t get into egg chasing. Mainly because there’s a huge flaw in the game.
Yes there’s constant scrums that are tedious and stop the flow of play, but my main issue is that when there’s an offense the other team then gets a chance to kick for three points (if its within the kickers range which is usually just in front of halfway). Too many games are decided by who committed the least amount of innocuous fouls.
Rugby league got rid of this flaw and the constant scrums and so in my opinion makes it a better sport than rugby union.

The other crap thing about rugby is rugger boys. Sure go out for a few drinks after the game but do you really have to challenge each other to a press up competition after a couple of pints?
Do you have to call each other by your nicknames all the time?
Do you have to put your arms around each others shoulders, sing Oasis songs and then throw up in the gutter?
Do you have to down Jagerbombs and cheer when you slam the glass down on the bar?

That brings me on to the latest drink craze that is Jaggerboms. It’s a not very strong single shot in half a glass of a bad smelling energy drink which you have to wait around for an eternity while the bartender lines them up to do a Jager-train.
If you are a rugger boy and want to act the big man then have a shot of whiskey will ya.
