Answer 7

Thats hillarious, although politically incorrect as you said haha ! I grew up playing Rugby League, about the same time as Operation Desert Storm my Club team had a move called "scud", where our surprise kicker would punt the ball high from a scrum win, the forwards would break quickly and the backs had allready stormed down onto the oppositions fullback to smash the ball from him and regain posession metres from the try line or score under the post, oh the kicker was Iraqi ! or Asyrian or something !
