David's Kiwi Rugby Phrase Guide

I have resurrected and revamped my Rugby Phrase Guide. For those of you who haven't read it before just sit back, relax and enjoy yourself! Owing to the decline of League I haven't added any new league terms but have left the existing ones there for tradition's sake. Most of these terms will be familiar to NZ readers although I'm sure they apply overseas as well!

A few photos have been added but I'm still looking for more. The Ranfurly Shield home where it belongs!

So I would be most grateful if anyone could help me out in locating suitable pictures to illustrate my guide. The photos displayed in this guide are NOT of my own creation, so if you are the owner of any of them and would like them removed I will be happy to do so. Many thanks to

for letting me use some of their photos.

Each page now has a particular country associated to it, with it's national anthem and the rugby union logo. You can link to many of the National Rugby Unions around the world by clicking on the logo in the top right corner of each page.

Don't be afraid to sign my guest book even if you think the Rugby Phrase Guide is crap!

For all you Mooloo fans out there or if you don't know who the Mooloos are try my Mighty Mooloos page.

So you have watched rugby and listened to those moronic commentators and still have no idea of what they are talking about? Well this is the guide for you. Here you will find what all those expression really mean and also all your favourite phrases.......
