I have pressed 'like' on a few Facebook groups so get a load of rugby clips and links to stories coming through each day, and I expect a few of you do too. So I thought I'd start a thread for us to share and relieve some of the stress from the more serious threads we have to face.

WARNING - there will be video clips/YouTube links on this page, so be careful if you're in work!

Last one for today. A good bit of French thuggery. Or assault as it's called today. Are we glad this has largely gone from the game, or is there a part of us that secretly hankers for a return of the rough stuff???

There's two old clips that I love, one the French winger kneed the ball out of his own hands when over the line and Carling was actually picked up in the try area and then carried over the goal line without grounding the ball.

Any excuse for the Carling clip. One of the funniest things ever, even to England fans.

As for rugby stories, my Dad played to a reasonable level in the 70s (at Morley, alongside Brian Campsell, the international ref). Other than stories of kdnapping players from Durham, his best story was of the time Hawick visited - a fine team featuring several Scotland internationals of the time. Arrived in Leeds on Friday, drank the bar dry on Friday evening, played on Saturday when surely hung-over but still thoroughly out-classed Morley, then proceeded to drink the bar dry on Saturday night. And then had another go at it on Sunday before heading home.

The half dozen or so unofficial TMOs behind the posts, simultaneously finger pointing got that try disallowed I reckon.

I know the one you mean Bedford, and yes Maj I think you're right, but can't find anywhere.

Here's a few more bombed tries. These guys on Australian Fox sports have a hell of a laugh in their show. They do a different funny segment like this each week:

The game was France v Italy in the 2004 Six Nations-Christophe Dominici.   That's all I could work it down to.

Video of the game must be worth a few cases of gold bullion though because I can find footage of virtually every game in 2004 except that one!

I know nothing about the guy or the background but I love that Venter interview.  

This was funny for us at the time but maybe needs a bit too much living through it to carry far:  http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/exclusive-said-robbie-deans-biography/

They took the wrong camera last week and showed the big boy suited up but wearing thongs (jandles / flip flops / Japanese riding boots).

Being a delicious ar*se. I loved it at the time. I think he got into trouble for speaking his mind in interview yet was expected to still speak 'his mind' to the media. So he showed up the hypocrisy of it - 'only answer the question we the media put to you and you'll be fine. Say things we don't want to hear and haven't asked you and the fines start coming in.'

Three Cheers for Venter. I still laugh.
