Betwixt the award of penalty kicks and taking of said penalties there's a mini-game where they run up and down the pitch a bit and throw the ball backwards before indulging in stage-managed plays where they form into crab-like structures or parallel lines of various lengths at the edge of the pitch. All this whilst a man barks the rulebook at them like an overzealous sports teacher and does the occasional Tai Chi moves like 'painting the box in the sky'.
People in other countries saw this English game and thought - 'We must do that!'... so inevitably in the course of time the consequence was the birth of the Rugby World Cup... so once more unto the breach dear brethren!
So who's going to win? Are you going to learn the Hakarena? Who was Johnny Wilkinson and does it matter any more?
