A Hooligans Game
It's a hooligans 's game, played by gentlemen,
15 take the field, all charged with adrenaline
80 minutes on the grass, with their hearts on their sleeve
hoping for that victory, only they can achieve
The ref's whistle blows and the fly-half kicks,
and the other team collect and start with their tricks
chip kicks, dummies and brilliant line breaks
bone crunching tackles, which result in body aches
15 take the field, all charged with adrenaline
80 minutes on the grass, with their hearts on their sleeve
hoping for that victory, only they can achieve
The ref's whistle blows and the fly-half kicks,
and the other team collect and start with their tricks
chip kicks, dummies and brilliant line breaks
bone crunching tackles, which result in body aches
Quick taps and penalties, drop-outs and rolling mauls,
set moves with second rows jumping for the ball
three-quarters run through gaps hoping to score
a scrum down engages, the crowd begins to roar
The scoreboard keeps ticking, they congratulate the scorer
both teams playing with and pride, until it's all over
bad calls from the ref, the touch judges fumble
one team at a disadvantage, the crowd starts to grumble
The final whistle blows and whatever the result
the teams come together, no foul nor insult
and then it's off to the pub for their holy communionset moves with second rows jumping for the ball
three-quarters run through gaps hoping to score
a scrum down engages, the crowd begins to roar
The scoreboard keeps ticking, they congratulate the scorer
both teams playing with and pride, until it's all over
bad calls from the ref, the touch judges fumble
one team at a disadvantage, the crowd starts to grumble
The final whistle blows and whatever the result
the teams come together, no foul nor insult
as they celebrate the hallow game called Rugby Union
