"intentially"? Is that Australian for "intentionally", like on purpose?

I'll be the first to point out that the nut punching isn't going on in rugby, but rather in Australian Rules (AFL). But you can call it rugby if you wish... I'm sure alot of dick-kicking goes on in that too (I've got first hand experience).

UFIA guy impressed

They should use this in Golf.

See how good Tiger's short game is after a good nutpunch!

Mitch119: nut punching isn't going on in rugby, but rather in Australian Rules (AFL).


I was going to point out that those uniforms in the pic looked like Aussie Rules and not rugby. I hate when people confuse AFL with rugby. Not even close to the same sport!

Crikey!

Also, in case you didn't know, in Australian Rules Football, the game pictured, you cannot get sent off for bad play. So you've ALWAYS been able to give a guy a 'squirrel grip' without fear of an early shower. You have to face the tribunal after the game, but you can't get sent off.

This is what leads to mass brawls during the grand final. Why wouldn't you fight if you only have to worry about missing the first few games of the next season?

indefensible

You have to face the tribunal after the game

That sounds sinister.

NOOO POOFTAHS!!

gimmeafarkinname: You have to face the tribunal after the game

That sounds sinister.

Tribunal in question:

Ok - maybe I'm looking at that picture wrong. But that doesn't look like a cock punch to me. I dunno about everybody else, maybe I'm weird, butI keep my junk in my pants, not in my shirt.

I'm not a doctor or anything, but the bit that guy on the ground is punching looks to be a gut to my eye. Typically found several inches above the junk.

Oh yeah, and as everybody else said, Aerial Pingpong != Rugby.

You guys are very picky!! Instead of reading the story, you are nitpicking at the picture!! (but yeah, I did notice bout the punching the shirt bit and figure it was some sort of trick photography).

And not to get myself confused, but what is Australian Rules (and if it's anything like Cricket forget I asked!)

Ang6666 - Australian Rules is a football variant simmilar to Gaelic football. The general idea is that you play on a big round field with four goal posts at either end. You can kick or punch the ball to move it around, and you have to get the ball between the posts at the end. Unlike gaelic football which uses a soccer style ball, AFL is played with a narrower version of the standard rugby ball, simmilar to an american football ball, but longer and narrower.

If you kick the ball and it goes through the middle two posts at your goal end, its 6 points. If it hits the post, goes between the outer posts or is touched by something other then a foot before it goes through the goal (IE somebodies hand or head or whatever) then its only 1 point.

When you kick a ball, provided the kick goes more then 10 meters, if somebody catches that ball on the full (without it bounching) then they can take a free kick to somebody else or they can play the advantage (run away with the ball). If you run more then a certain distance, you have to bounce the ball while you run.

Because players typically make athletic leaps to grab the ball, frequently vaulting off other players backs for additional height, and because of the rapid and fluid nature of ball movement, AFL is frequently known as Aerial Pingpong, or Nancyball.

More fun then rugby but generally less pain.

NEW RULE: Grabbing another guy's junk on the rugby field is NOT okay, unless you bought him dinner before the game

Sounds a bit like Brockian Ultra Cricket.

Frankly, I'm much more interested in this story, found just below the nut punchers:

2004 HS Coach Sex Scandal Update: Girl-On-Girl Action Results in 26 Counts of Unlawful Sex

That'll sure make CcSteff happy. If any of her opponents is foolish enough to give her flowers.

Waiting for the soccer player kicking the other soccer player in the nuts pic

/yes we all know lots of you call it football

/i love that pic

Isn't this a little bit like Calvinball? Except with more/less rules?

Thank you sir, may I have another?

scootah: More fun then rugby but generally less pain.

less pain? that's not fun

Eric Cartman unavailable for comment.

The pic that accompanies the "Vikings Onterrio Smith Caught at Airport With Fake Penis" is probably one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

/"things" not meant as a pun

Mitch119: Australian Rules (AFL). But you can call it rugby if you wish

No, you can't. AFL is to Rugby, as Baseball is to Cricket.

But, yes, going the squirrel grip is common in both.

/2 rugby threads - sorta - in 1 week? W00t! Fark. It's not news, it's Rugby news!

Where's the rugby ? This article is all about Australian Rules Football. Different game.

Ppptt. Hockey players have been doing this for years ... but do not need to apologize.

/like rugby, but love hockey

NuttierThanEver Does anybody have the pic of the Aussie rules baller squeezing his opponents nutsack?

That was English football (Vinnie Jones and Paul Gascoigne).

Read about John Hopoate and "Proctological Rugby"...



Link should pop if my HTML skillz are intact.

Nobody cares if rugby and Aussie rules football are different!!! We only care about attacks to the nutt-sack!!!

scootah

Nancyball???

"Ill stick my thumb in his butthole that ll really piss him off" crikey

Kick his ass, GW!

Brockian Ultra-Cricket?


Rule five:

The players should lay about themselves for all they are worth with whatever they find on hand. Whenever a player scores a 'hit' on another player, he should immediately run away and apologize from a safe distance.

Apologies should be concise, sincere and, for maximum clarity and points, delivered through a megaphone.

Make no mistake - this was definitely a crotchshot, even if the picture doesn't look it. I've had the joy of seeing it on the news here in Perth for a couple days now. He hit the guy at least twice.

W looks a lot like Gomer Pyle in that photo.

Happy Slapping? Rugby style?

FRANKS & BEANS !

Only in Amercia, sheesh.

The rules to the game of Brockian Ultra-cricket rugby, as played in the higher dimensions are strange and inexplicable. A full set of the rules is so massively complicated that the only time they were all bound together to form a single volume, they underwent gravitational collapse and became a black hole.

A brief summary, however, is as follows:

Rule One:

Grow at least three extra legs. You won't need them, but it keeps the crowds amused.

Rule Two:

Find one good Brockian Ultra-Cricket player and clone him off a few times. This saves an enormous amount of tedious selection and training.

Rule Three:

Put your team and the opposing team in a large field and build a high wall round them.

The reason for this is that, though the game is a major spectator sport, the frustration experienced by the audience at not actually being able to see what's going on leads them to imagine that it's a lot more exciting than it actually is. A crowd that has just watched a rather humdrum game experiences far less life-affirmation than a crowd that believes it has just missed the most dramatic event in sporting history.

Rule Four:

Throw lots of assorted items of sporting equipment over the walls for the players. Anything will do - cricket bats, basecube bats, tennis guns, skis, anything you can get a good swing with.

Rule five:

The players should now lay about themselves for all they are worth with whatever they find to hand. Whenever a player scores a 'hit' on another player, he should immediately run away and apologize from a safe distance.

Apologies should be concise, sincere and, for maximum clarity and points, delivered through a megaphone.

Rule Six:

The winning team shall be the first team that wins.

Baseball is teh gay

/what about massive tail attack??

My plans to rule the world of Australian Rules are coming to fruition!
