In the North vs South rugby matches today, England and France snatched the wins from Australia and New Zealand.  Yeah, I feel on top of the world!

Next week: England vs France.

What do you think, [profile] footlingagain? Les Bleus or Le Quinze de la Rose?

You're much better on the English terms than I am on the French ones ;-)

Melee is the scrum, I think (sorry - can't find the accents on this keyboard!). When the ball's put into the middle after the two teams lock together and try to break one another's necks.

The maul is when the players surround another one who's holding the ball and try to walk him to the line.

The ruck is when the player in the maul has dropped the ball - I think *g*

We'll probably end up with a game that no-one else recognises ;-)

That is highly likely. They'll surely think it is very inspired from other well-known sports.
:-P
