Rugby Rules

We had a pretty good weekend - fairly quiet but good just the same. The highlight was definitely yesterday and a trip up the mountains to celebrate a birthday. The highlight of the highlight was when Hayzey 'won' a game of musical chairs at the party (she won it with a bit of assistance). Miss Hayzey didn't care that much but LGR was thrilled to bits - so much so that he raced over to give her a huge hug and then literally dragged her off to get her prize. He was so proud - and she had no idea what had happened!

I was listening to some commentary on the rugby union (and specifically the Australia vs France game over the weekend) this morning. The first funny bit I heard was a commentator suggesting the referee was making up rules on the run just so he could blow his whistle.

The second bit was more of a story - along the lines of having 3 retired former international rugby players commentating. 1 will think a penalty was legitimate, 1 will think it was wrong and the third will say they didn't even know the rule they are discussing existed.

I like rugby. It has very complex rules.
