Rugby Quotes of the Week

[Hugh Jarse]

Nick Cummins on Ben McCalman scoring the only try against the Reds:
". Sweating like a gypsy with a mortgage when he got up after scoring that try."

Hard to pick the "best of " the quotes from the Honey Badger.

In a world where our kids talk about cookies, sidewalks, french fries and butts instead of more culturally appropriate Australian alternatives, it is refreshing to hear about rats up drainpipes, bloody good, just going bananas, etc.

Is the Honey Badger the single handed saviour of Okkerisms in this age of Political Correctness and American cultural imperalism?

What a sad humourless world we live in when I say that I would not be surprised if the Badger is back in front of the cameras being forced to apologise to all persons of Romany extraction about the insult to their culture and negative stereotyping an entire race. Crap. Get a life.

You should see the beauty of a quote he has under his twitter bio.
"Love getting the pill over the stripe"

He can be the undersecretary of tweeness in my Ministry.

Almost as if he is the byproduct of a long forgotten pre-marriage Jarse one night stand.

From a high school rugby player in the US:

"I wouldn't be the man I am today without rugby," Semeraro said. "I can't think of another sport where you sit down and break bread with the guy who just broke your nose. It's a lifestyle, a brotherhood."

Quite an interesting article

Heard this somewhere can't remember where though

Tries in Rugby League are like having a wank. It's fun but the ending is always the same.

Rugby is like actually trying to get laid. Sometimes you don't score, sometimes you do and it's not pretty and sometimes it's amazing and you can't walk for days.

I recently got below 90 kilos.

I got under 90 kilos one night. Size really doesn't matter but I have to say it was better when I was on top.

I'll show myself out.

“Without a brain and playing the game in heaven? They'll have to move him to the backs ;-)” At "Tizza" Taylor's funeral last Friday, his son Steven read out this comment from a Herald reader, following a column on how Tizza had his brain removed for study by Boston University on the effects of concussion. Brought the house down.

I liked the one from Sumo Stevenson commentating on an ITM cup game last year, prop gets popped from scrum and Sumo says " 'whoever' has gone Meerkat" loved it, I do admit to being a Sumo fan.

Foxtel commentator at the England 7's after a couple of f bombs are picked up by the mics from the Australian 1/2 time talk

" I apologize for that industrial talk from the half time huddles"

 

[qwerty51]

They never learn, they apologise for the language in the HT talk every damn series. Either don't put a mic there or put up with it. Don't expect coaches not to use colourful language in a heated moment.

From the sign of a crowd member, at the Cheetahs-Hurricanes match:
"Sold my Bieber tickets to see Coenie [Oosthuizen]'s big hits!"

 

[#1 Tah]

Sign seen in Canberra Earlier this year:
"I have a Rathboner"

 

[Bairdy]

The Honey Badger is at it again!
Watch the video but one quote in particular that stuck out to me:
"If I end up getting a gig [for the Lions], mate I'll be going off like a cut snake!"

LMAO at Nick McArdle on Rugby Club tonight:

Discussing the prospect of Burgo being parachuted into the Wobs for BIL.


Wonder how the backs are feeling about that because feelings are important to backs.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Jumped the gun there a little in the heat of the moment.

The exact quote from McArdle from the replay:

And I know feelings are very important to backs, so you have to wonder, you know, how Nic White and Nick Phipps would be feeling about that....

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Not Heaven's game and I am somewhat ashamed that I watched even 5 minutes of the ridiculous Footy Show but Fatty Vautin saw nothing utoward in the following:
"In the 100 year history of our great game there have been only 8 immortals. 2 of them are dead."

Steve Walsh to Vunipolo in the B&I Lions vs Barbars in Hong Kong

No 1. You must have your head on the outside. You're a loosehead
