The current World Cup competition has already been marred by complaints made
to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by
performing the Haka' before their games, which has led to the other
competing nations being asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own.
As a result, the IRB Rugby World Cup 2003 Organising Committee has now
agreed to the following pre-match displays:

1.    The England team will chat about the weather and drink tea before
moaning about how they invented the game and gave it to the world, and how
it's not fair that everyone still thinks New Zealand are the best team in
the world.

2. The Scotland team will chant "You lookin' at me Jimmy?" before
smashing an Iron Bru bottle over their opponents' heads.

3.    The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half
performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners bang drums & march the
Traditional route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents
dressing room.
