I Love Rugby

Rugby, what a beautiful and passionate game Its not about money, fashion or fame. Invented one day by a guy named Webb How do go "I have a game to play"? A war that's fought on a muddy field They'll give their last breath to insure victory is sealed. The pride of a nation rests on their shoulders They have the heart, they're stood like boulders. Its not about winning and they know We're a rugby nation, we wanna see heart and a good show. With quick passes out to the wings The Millennium erupts, the entire country sings. He's on his twenty two, he has a way to go And stood in front of him is a Tommy Bow. He has the pace and a Rugby brain He makes ten yards and changes his lane. He beats the one but not the other A cheeky offload, its in the hands of his brother. He's tackled fast and what a hit! Two minutes on the floor he'll need to sit. The balls been recovered and passed inside The forwards have got it, you better run and hide. Bests of men who never get the glory I think their work is 80% of the story. We're just over the half way and today's not the defenses day. They missed their chance, the ball went back but they was all in a trance. We still have the ball and we're smashing trough Now we're on their twenty two. The balls being passed from left to right Their looking for a gap, that little bit of daylight. Our captain he gets in in his two hands He boulders through on his ass the defender lands. That was it! The chance we need He done his job, he knows how to lead. The ball goes out straight to the right Only one defender left in the fight. One quick dummy and he's been conned He touches the ball down and you see the brotherly bond. Crying, cheering and cwtching and that's just the crowd They can take a break, they done their country proud. Those feelings they have I'll never know I just wanted to say, "Thank you for the show".
