Its interesting to see that, despite the Rugby Union World Cup having been going on for what seems like months, there hasn't been a single post about it on this site. As far as Accy Web readers are concerned, Rugby Union flys under the radar.

I'm not surprised. I've tried to understand the rudiments of the game, but I've been reduced to watching the referee rather than the players, because he seems to be the most important person on the field, sticking his hand up to signify a penalty for one side or the other in a completely random fashion.

And as for those Welshmen moaning about the "harshness" of the sending off, I thought the player was lucky not to be arrested for assault, picking up an opponent, turning him upside down and letting him drop.

As you can see, I'm not a fan!
