This collection reveals the unquenchable, insatiable wit that smolders unseen under the mute, impassive faces of the world's toughest men. As would be expected in a game played using funny-shaped balls, rugby is a sport which tickles the funny bone like no other. If you didn't have humor, you couldn't have rugby given the often-fluctuating fortunes of every team in the world. The result is a wry, idiosyncratic, and sometimes bizarre catalogue of comic creations.
