Rug B

The All Blacks played Australian Rules
Maori men against young fools
Butt a stroke of luck
In a muddy ruck
Quite promptly diminished their tools

Don't follow Rugby, but love your "butt...in the muddy ruck." Funny limerick, Rico!

Rugby is a sport for those unafraid to get their hands dirty! Women's rugby is my favourite! Aloha! Rico

G’day Rico … witty limerick apart from one minor detail. The All Blacks play Rugby not Australian Rules. Outside Aus. there are no AR professional teams - C-mon the bulldogs - Lindsay

Sorry! I recall an Exhibition Game where the All Blacks played Australian Rules - and won! Aloha! Rico

Surrounded by Eire, England, Scotland, and Wales, it is surprising Douglas isn't the capitol of Rugby . . . .. perhaps someone pulled the rug out from under IOM feet? Aloha! Rico
