IRB issue press release regarding pre match rituals (hilarious)

(This is funny)

Following complaints to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by performing the ‘Haka’ before their games, other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own.

The IRB Rugby World Cup 2007 Organizing Committee has now agreed, and has since released an official press release concerning the following pre-match displays by other teams at the rugby world cup.

It includes mandates such as:

The Australians will have a BBQ on their side of the field and invite the opposition over before the game. The food and alcohol will be in abundance and by the start of the game no-one will remember what they came to the stadium for. After some streaking, the singing of dirty songs and the occasional chunder everyone will go home thoroughly convinced it was a bloody good night.

Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory, claim it as their own “Las In-Goals-Areas” and have to be forcibly removed by the match stewards.

Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for the Americans to enter in full body armour, surrounded by fully armed marines. Confront the opposition by stating that the rules will be those used by the Americans in the AFL and any resistance will be met by force from the Marines.

No it would be more like, G.Bush standing in front of the nation with his lil microphone stating “This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.”
