Johnny Wilkinson's thighs...
 But seriously. My ex-old man was a hooker and I still remember the pastoral joy of sitting in the clubhouse VaT in hand, listening to the 'thud crunch' of breaking bones on a Sunday morning. Lovely game. No seriously.

I've always wanted to get into rugby. One of these days I'll go and see the Tigers (Leicester's team) and hopefully someone will be kind enough to explain things to me. I like the idea of it - cold weather, tight shorts and big men who like a drink. What's not to like?

My brother played fly-half years ago. I watched him make a saving tackle and get knocked silly one time... I'll leave that game to the young and indestructable.

There's one term I never understood, what does "get stuck in" mean?

I'm not sure if it's a rugby term, but it means to get really serious about something. For example, if someone gives you a great steak which is juicy and delicious looking, you might say you're going to 'get stuck into it', or 'get stuck about it' because you just can't wait to get started.

That explains it Ali,... "get stuck in" was part of a ruggers song I heard 30 years ago, where they said "that's the only way to win, get stuck in" and I assumed it was a rugby term.

Glad to have helped UT. It's actually a term I use when I'm castigating my kids for being slow with stuff like cleaning their rooms up or mowing the lawn.
I say, "hurry up and get stuck about it and then it'll be done and you can go". It actually must seem weird for people to hear such terms and wonder what they mean, but all languages are like that I guess. You lot say some pretty weird stuff which I ask for clarification on.

And, lets face it, it's not as if it's an unfamiliar taste to most of us...  (I did make myself gag a bit there)

 It was obviously made for a US audience.
