There's a list of things women aren't allowed to talk about, and I want to know what else is on it.
Circumcision.
Can't think of much else, though. Perhaps women could have interested-third-party rights on discussing vasectomies, especially if they've been on contraception for fifteen years and had three kids by the time the subject comes up.

I can confirm this. Danielle was the person who quite happily accepted detention for 'forgetting' her PE gear every single day in high school. Lesser of two evils I think was her theory.

Robyn should so totally be our number nine. He's the lippy one who's allowed to backchat the ref and slap the forwards on the bottom.
I'm not sure about this bottom-slapping business. But I will be captain. Can I call myself cap'n and pretend to be a pirate? Cos that would be quite cool.

Circumcision.
Done that. Several times, which is odd when I come to think about it. My midwife says anyone who wants that done to their baby should have to hold the freaking scalpel themselves.

Arr, course you can. My brother was in the Pirates Rugby Team, so it's obviously kosher. And it gives us an excuse to wear earrings on the field.

Fourthed!
Fantastic really. I suggest a rugby team, then go away to vacuum the house, make a batch of chocolate chip oatie biscuits, get some vanilla biscuit dough ready (school gala day coming up), and make the pastry for dinner, and come back to find a nearly full team, complete with excellent captain, and a name. The PAS Pirates it is, then.
Now all we need is some cheerleaders... Any volunteers, chaps?

Tom is being very quiet.
But I guess when you're in a hole it's best to stop digging.

The weather will have to improve heaps before I get my pom poms out.

And I get to be Dan Carter. Can't kick, can't catch, can't pass, can't run, will NOT appear on billboards clad only in my underwear, but, hey, other than that, I think I fit the bill.
Right. Off to get the kids from school now.
-
Earrings! Ace. Now we have options for some real violence on the field. Also for the record bottom-slapping is fine. All this talk of costuming is making me think of the Real Hot Bitches. I will be wearing a terry towelling style headband, lots of lipstick and lashings of mud of course....

I think Tom went to the real rugby thread. Fair play mate.

Heh. Hey, I didn't 'forget' my PE gear every day. Sometimes I lied about having period pain, too! Depending on the teacher. I liked to change it up a little. *Man*, I hated PE. I hated PE almost as much as I hated maths. How did I end up being a sports fan? And strategic advisor to the PAS Pirates? It's a funny old world...

I am reminded of a news story, possibly an urban legend, that I read a few years back about a high school in Melbourne where two-thirds of the students were of ethnic minority descent (in Aussie, that refers to mostly non-Polynesian ethnics). The story covered the school not having enough players to field a First XV rugby team for the first time in its history, and its relation to the school's ethnic makeup. The rest of the story is lost in the mists of time, and I have been unable to find a digital copy of it.

Sheesh, I just went to a restaurant and discussed gay porn.

they're all crying in their red bulls over there in rugby thread land. It seems much more upbeat over here in femme payback land. haven't you heard that the all blacks lost .... ?

I'm very happy to cheer y'all on, but I'm really much better at cutting oranges for half time and then hot cups of coffee afterwards (or a beer, or a martini, whatever)
Oh and you gals can talk about circumcision all you like (crosses legs, winces).
-
Would you have a haka to show respect (intimidate the hell out of) the oppostioin?

No, we just stand in front of them with our arms folded saying 'If you don't know what you did I'm not going to tell you' until they lose the will to live.

merc,
On reflection, I withdraw the Alabama analogy, bad form and someday I will have to be in Christchurch again and I may meet up with a circumcising, pron discussing female rugby team and have to state my case and well frankly, it's looking a little dodgy right now.
Soooo, whose going to be the flankers? -
Who's going to be the hooker???
-
No! No, you can't apologise, if you do I'll have to stop taking the piss out of the analogy and then what will I do with my day, look after my kids?
-
sorry, i see thats already been discussed.

Actually, when I was a girl in the Maori Cultural Club at Kowhai Intermediate, we used to perform women's haka. They do exist. They're just not as well known as Te Rauparaha's one. Still pretty scary though.
Deborah, you thought of the whole thing, so you get to be whichever one you like!
Also, the vasectomy thing... I think for men who have fathered all the children they're after, it's the decent thing to do. (ha! see me, commenting on a men's issue)
Circumcision...not on my watch, matey.(see, I did it again!) -
Where is Jo? She must be being really staunch about not participating in rugger conversations.
And umm, women who play rugby probably just, you know, play rugby.....but since we are going down the camp route somewhat can I request some topless cheerleaders with pom poms.
Hayden can definitely be part of the support crew if he mixes the drinks. -
merc,
Fair call take the piss (groans can I say I was pre-men-struddle?) you're a rugby player now and I was so we're kinda brother and sister now. The showers will be a little interesting but on a cold day here's a tip, pull up lame 5 minutes before the final whistle, the hot water is yours.
Toa wahine, perfectly capable of fighting and able to lead the haka if they had the mana and some did.
