Congratulations on winning with this entry. Rugby has a small following here in the United States. However, it never has (and most likely never will) achieved the level of popularity of American Football.

LOL Funny limerick, Wilma! Guess rugby is like football and ice hockey, where the outbreak of fights is a common occurrence. Wishing you luck in Royal's contest with this great entry. Love, Carolyn

Wonderful sporty Limerick Wilma. I have written a couple of poems about sport in the early days of my writing. Nice one for the egg chasers as we call them. Have a most wonderful weekend....:)
