World Cup ends but lying on couches banned until 2007
Everywhere. 22nd November 2003.
Wives and partners in both hemispheres breathed a collective sigh of relief yesterday as the 2003 Rugby World Cup came to an end. For the last seven weeks, husbands and fathers have neglected swimming lessons, lawns, shopping and other “morning duties” as they dragged quilts into the lounge and demanded breakfast while screaming to know why the fly half wasn’t playing three quarters. Or vice versa. Or whatever.
One long-suffering wife, who declined to be identified, said: “I cannae tell ye how happy we are.”
“He took the children to a birthday party last week and there they were happily playing “Ring-a-Ring-a-Rosie”. Then, all of a sudden, he shouted at them: “Crouch and Hold!”. They were puzzled, but that wasn’t the worst of it. Later, one of four-year olds had won the “Pass-the-Parcel” game - fair and square. Then, he suddenly took the present away from her and said she was Crossing, for God’s sake! And where did he learn those ridiculous hand signals anyway?"
Meanwhile, while most of the population have struggled with the challenge presented by the some of the main names in the attacking back line, Clive Woodhead said that the forwards’ were more of a problem. “Yea Domenici was tough enough, but where the hell did they get Harinordoquy? That’s practically unprounceable!”
Brian O’DriSolidGold was coming to terms with winger Rougerie: “He looked pale before the game but he was certainly red hot during it. Anyway, over here the Aussie commentators think it’s “Ruggery”, after Ruggers School.” adding, “Bless them. They could all work for ITV.”
