      Rugby is the living embodiment of the Olympic spirit - the pursuit of excellence achieved through personal sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears in a sport played and enjoyed across the planet. It is a battle on a gladiatorial level, wholly dependent on the contribution of the athlete with no need for fancy equipment, stupid haircuts and histrionics. And for the spectators, sterilised by the obsessive enforcement of health and safety rules by nanny states, there is the vicarious thrill of watching two teams pitched against one another in a savage contest of skill, speed, teamwork and strength. Marvellous!!
