AAAGGGhh A night out !!!

Well, this really is a toughie. How shocking !!! How appalled are you ???  The England Rugby players, yes Rugby players have had a 'night out'. The Sun stated that Mike Tindall has allegedly behaved inappropriately on a night out after their game against Argentina in New Zealand, reputedly pushing his head in between a woman's breasts during a dwarf throwing evening in New Zealand. In other words they have behaved like men..male Rugby players. What a pathetic story !! In short this is Rugby ! This kind of behaviour has happened since the time immemorial of the sport, obviously with more variation since its beginning, as a result of international competition.  Rugby songs have always been well known as raunchy. Mooning and participation in various other entertainments has now moved on to where other possibilities exist, but Rugby still commands more respect than football because of the discipline and professionalism within the game. I see this as another attempt to strait jacket the culture of England/ Britain and to take the humour from our country. If you suppress traditional behaviour in Rugby, then you will destroy the inherent morale of the game and the likelihood of success.  But then the Sun is more concerned with putting its head between the cheeks of Rupert Murdoch..
