[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 479808, member: 40658"] Funniest Thing: I was playing for the 3rd team for my High School against an invitational team from Botswana (our High School was the closest school to the Botswana border that had a hostel). Anyways, during our warm-up we decided to work on our Line-outs as we saw that they had a really tall lock and might be a bit of a challenge during line-outs. While we were doing it, they just passed the ball to each other, didn't practise set-plays or scrums or line-outs or anything like that. Then the match kicked off and we started pretty well scoring 3 tries within the first 20 minutes of the game, eventually they got their hands on the ball, passed it to their fly half who wanted to kick for territory, which he did pretty well, as we were starting to line-up for the lineout, my opposite number 1 came to the lineout, a bit out of breath, and went on all fours, seeing that it was very hot, i felt sorry for the guy and said to the ref maybe he should call for the medic or bring him some water, which they did, after they attended to him, he remained on all fours, and then the ref said, "get up, we need to put the ball in play"... Then... The tall lock came and stand on top of the prop still on all fours, and prepared for the lineout... to which we burst out laughing as we have never seen that before on a rugby field. Weirdest: this happened in one of the games my brother played, he was playing for a place in the under 18 Limpopo Craven Week team, it was about 35 degrees celcius that day and while they were warming up running from one end of the field to the other passing between players, the Ball burst in mid air!
