Informazioni sull?autore

Alexander Rae developed the main theories for bluffing rugby when he discovered that he was useless at the game. Never to be one to let such details stand in the way of his enjoyment he quickly evolved a style of play that removed the need to run, jump, tackle, or touch the ball. He is Scottish but moved to Somerset some years ago in the mistaken belief that the Scottish were going to continue winning Grand Slams. For the rest of the week he is a freelance writer, which is a far more dangerous and painful occupation.

Crazy logic
With that indefinable sense of logic that pervades all the laws of rugby, the only direction that you are allowed to pass the ball is the opposite direction from the way you actually want to go.

Hazard to your health
Never run with the ball. If, by accident, you get the ball, pass it as quickly as possible. Running with the ball is very tiring and can be hazardous to your health. It is far better to let someone else take the blame for losing it to the opposition.
