Weekends are reserved for the sacred, sleeping in, brunch, and being eternally confused by Rugby. Here are the 21 most frequent thoughts during a rugby game.
-
First and foremost, why don’t they wear helmets? You’d think they want some protection after ramming their heads together for two hours.
-
Why does the clock never stop? They keep stopping and standing around but the clock never stops, who’s in charge of the clock? I mean I’m not complaining but…
-
How come when they take a water break they squirt the water everywhere but their mouths? How do they get hydrated?
-
It is seriously surprising that they don’t pants each other when they tackle one another- but opportunity missed am i right?
-
What’s that thing where they throw the guys up in the air? Are they gymnasts now?
-
It’s crazy how similar Rugby and True American are- not that I understand either of them but I’m sure Jessica Day has a firm grasp on both.
-
Doesn’t it seem counter-intuitive to kick the ball towards the other team?
-
How is it that every time they start playing again it looks like there were more players on the field than when they stopped…
-
How do they go from the hulk to a puppy in .2 seconds, so aggressive and yet so gentle?
-
That moment when your friend goes down and you seriously contemplate whether or not they’re going to get back up again.
-
But then they do get up and you know they are for sure concussed.
-
Cringing with the crowd at a particularly bad tackle, nothing’s quite like that “oof” in unison.
-
How does this scoring work? The numbers keep going up they don’t appear to be scoring any points.
-
Are there any boundaries? I swear they’d chase the ball straight into the crowd if they could run fast enough.
