Subject: RE: BS: Rugby World Cup - Corrections
Boxing is very much part of Rugby anyway. And of Australian Rules footie as well, from what I've seen of it. I rather admire the way that Australian TV commentators , when a fight breaks out in a Rules game, they seem to start to comment enthusiastically on it, as just another entertaining aspect of the game - in contrast to English commentators in similar situations, who always get po-faced as they deplore it.
It's rather the same way in Tennis - they'd go on about how MacEnroe was spoling the spirit of Wimbledon, when in fact his tantrums were the highlight of the tournament, and the event is a real drag, now they all seem to behave themselves.
