Rugby Haiku
By Moses
Moses
Moses spends far too long on G&GR, dealing with the totality of the strength and conditioning, the medical, the rugby side of things, strategy, the review, preview of the internet itself and also the individuals. A Waratahs apologist and rib-eye steak enthusiast, he is often found working behind the scenes keeping the G&GR juggernaut afloat.

Matt Dunning
dunning
Its not letting me post, but i’m guessing its matt dunning.
i’ve tries like 10 times now.
Dear Bobas – Sorry
It had you as a spammer
correct I believe
it was the Dunning
May have eaten all the pies
Plays for Eastwood now
another easy one…
Al Baxter!!!
No! perhaps another clue will help
Can’t be Sharpe? He’s still crap…
Is indeed Sharpe.
I’m sure he’ll revert to being crap just as soon as he puts on that purple jersey, but you’d have to agree that he’s had mojo in the last few matches..
another one:
It’s our Rob!!!!! Woo!
That’d have to be the Western Force!
the guitar man…
When war is knocking,
we would rather this flanker,
Mccaw? who’s McCaw?
I had a great tour
Got a few good passport stamps
Did not break a sweat
The rugby haiku
Is really quite challenging
One more syllable?
Still sitting at work
Boss not happy with work ethic
No more haiku today
Haiku and Rugby – a perfect match
Pedro – the worlds best 7, of course! (very clever on the Waugh reference)
WM – Kimlin
Another:
defensively weak?
rubber ball for a hammy
dunk me in your tea
that’s easy – defensively weak gives it away :) !!!
Also to be precise a rubber ball might be a lot more resilient than whatever the hell that tea-bag actually has.
Finally some sense
I dont like where you had me
My home is at twelve
I just realised
Gagger’s fourth post was in fact
A haiku disguised
WM – is that Gits? I reckon his home’s at 12…
Ok, that was a bit easy.. how bout
I reckon WMs is AAC for the BaaBaas
Moses 1 = Antipodeans
Moses 2 = clue here
Next one. Slightly more cryptic:
Please show your workings in your answer
That one is cryptic gagger,
I’m thinking perhaps Giteau. Emeralds is a reference to the colour of the Force jersey and the mining dollars that took him out west. Mummy boy cause he wants to go back to canberra.
Though any reference to Mum has me thinking of the white Mummba..
I thought emeralds were green.
Maybe someone playing for Ireland, whose mum is Irish.
Fraid not Moses-san. Got the Mummba clue though…
Pedro is onto something
Pedro – good one. Moore?
Pedro that’s superb
I believe Gagger got it
Stumped on his one
you want more? you got it
I join Moses-san
Can’t pick Gagger’s haiku
Perhaps O’Connor?
Bugger – stuffed up the last one. Gagger – it was AAC
Was it the money? Rumours of poor investments
or was it for emeralds? The emerald Isle; Ireland
mothers boy took chance Mummba played well in his spot
Anyone? Just shows he shouldn’t have gone!
Elsom
is he world class
or a young al baxter
super rugby decides.
?
‘Waratah Reject
Can’t hold up a scrum for shit
Lemonade sandwich’ – Moses
whose this one? Bill Young?
Bobas – Yep it was Rocky.
Is yours Alexander?
Queensland and the Force
Could not find a place for him
New king of Clermont
Not a Wallaby but you still be known to you boys in the UK
yeah, was the alexsander.
no idea WM.
how about this:
lacky to score
good turn of pace
enough mongrel?
WM – Brock James? Thats a bit of a random one
Bobas – I like your innovations in Haiku. Turner?
yeah very random gagger – thought i might spice it up a bit. yours is tough…tahu? injury magnet is the only one i can pick
Gagger – I’m thinking Tahu as well…
C’mon guys, use the noodle! Tim Tam’s not the only chronic injury magnet in Aussie rugby. Surely Bobas will get it.
Moses – too easy, JC, but I like it.
Goal kicking boots full
back of me is far away
second to Mehrtens
berrick buns gadger?
its a brave new world,
to play could cause him to die,
precious stone player.
I thought Tahu based on his being taught a new way to run with the gluteal activation. How bout Berrick?
Nice one Pedro, had me thinking, but the back of Burke is pretty far away….
Moses – is yours about an individual player, or just a swipe at the Force in general?
Looks like my Haiku goes undefeated….
Yeah Matt Burke, did you get the full back part?
also..
Did you know:
Second-highest Super 12 scorer of all time (behind Andrew Mehrtens).
Second-highest scorer of all time in the Rugby Union Tri Nations (behind Mehrtens).
New red on the block
Dingo’s been faithful to me
People call me beans
……means Hynes
Ah-so Gagger. Would you care to enlighten the unworthy on your haiku?
Gagger, is your one Lote?
He’s kind of got cool runnings hair, has been injured heaps… no idea about the turn right reference.
Only Clint I can think of is Shiffo..
Pay attention grasshoppers…
Injury magnet [I think he’s been injured more than fit]
my new runnings are cool man [approached by Aus bobsleigh team; hence ‘Cool Runnings’ (the movie) ]
clint would say right turn [Clint Eastwood’s line from movie Every Which Way but Loose: “Right Turn Clyde“]
CLYDE RATHBONE
My work here is done.
It’s all fine, but that clint eastwood jybe shows your vintage.
Wisdom is not wasted on youth, grasshopper.
Boble – I dont think we answered yours:
Stirling Mortlock ?? Mort=death and Stirling refers to silver (although not a precious stone….)
Huxley?
I was thinking Mortlock as a precious stone could be a talisman – a term he seems to have picked up.
Good one Moses. Has to be Huxley.
Aldous wrote Brave New World
Brain troubles = death bit
‘Jewelian’ = precious stone
Very clever Blobas. Who’d you nick it off?
Fuck you boys are smart. Maybe I should spend less time on the blogs and more time in the books.
Youth not on my side
In solving these tough haiku
Leave it to the men
Yeah was huxley.
I was just thinking of some general clues that you’d need to answer all three to be right.
Would have never got the Rathbone one for that reason, no idea about eastwood.
How about this one.
“First man on the earth,
shot from half way at kings games,
Used to work at maccas”
I was thinking less Eastwood and more Brumbies.
First man on earth – Adam
……kings games – er, dunno
used to work at Maccas – Frier?
Yeah correct.
He used to make shot from halfway at the the old sydney kings games, he got them more often than not.
