Can anyone explain to me how you can follow a sport where chaps who get a tap to the ankle writhe in pain and get carried off on a stretcher ? In World War I blokes would fight on with a couple of missing limbs - now they are wimps largely coached by whinging continentals. The English have given the world many great institutions, but this ridiculous game is not one of them.
Down here there is a World Cup of rugby league. Another English disaster, mostly played in Lancashire as I understand it, but at least they don't dive.
