Intellectualism

Well, it’s that wonderful time of the week again. It’s Friday, and that means copious amounts of alchohol, drunken dancing that would embarrass your dad and an end of night kebab that’s probably made from glue and the inside of the shop’s hoover bag. However, before all that travesty begins, we here at Imagine are here to entertain you by bringing you a load of examples of how rugby players are the most intelligent and sophisticated gentlemen to ever step onto a pitch.

Well, sort of...

As you all already know, we here at Imagine love a daft quote. Whether it’s a manager, a commentator or a player, we just can’t get enough of absolute stupidity portrayed by those who really should know better. That’s why the former New Zealand All Black Murray Mexted is one of our favourite members of the TV broadcasting world. If you’re not aware of his titanic contribution to the commentary gaffe, then be prepared to have your week well and truly lit up with some of the finest innuendo thi...

As everyone reading Imagine knows, we love to be a bit stupid on a Friday. Whether it’s silly quotes, catastrophic moments or refereeing howlers, there’s nothing we like more than lining up our favourite sports and laughing at their ridiculousness. In aid of the continuing ‘Stupid Friday’ column (as we may or may not permanently name it) we’ve decided to knuckle down and give the real story on what the rugby positions around the pitch REALLY mean:

Props: If your jolly Uncle Jim was a ru...

As the many men and women who have played (and bled for) the wonderful game of rugby will tell you: when you get onto the field, the sport is serious business. However, that doesn’t mean that it can’t match football and cricket for humour (well, anything can match cricket for humour, but you get the idea. That’s why we here at Imagine have chosen to bring together some of the greatest quotes we’ve ever heard about (or during) rugby matches. Enjoy!

On Rugby’s drinking culture:

Rugby Survival Part 2

Fri, 18 Feb 2011 14:23:39 +0000

As you might have noticed in the last few weeks, we here at Imagine have been using Fridays to present to you our loyal readers as much satire, stupidity and all-round ridiculousness as we possibly can. In continuation of this grand (well, month old) tradition, it’s time for us to bring to you the second part of our guide to surviving your first few games of rugby. In last weekend’s article, we explored survival in your first three matches. Well, we’re assuming that despite these matc...

Stayin' Alive

For hardened rugby fanatics, there’s nothing that beats a good game of sevens on a Saturday afternoon, followed by another round of seven (pints) down the local boozer. However, spare a thought for all of those just taking up the great game, for whom the sight of various 17 stone monsters descending upon one’s tender frame must be mortally terrifying. Our hearts go out to you, rugby virgins. Because we care, here are our ideal tactics to help you survive your first three competitive rugby m...
