[QUOTE="igorBastia, post: 464568, member: 57266"] Our Rugby culture come of the deep south west countryside (Aquitaine, Gascogne ect..(English former province in the time of the Plantagenêt and Aleonor of Aquitaine). In the middle age, theses paysans played a called 'la soule' a play in which you can do what you want. Somewhere a part of this antic and autentic paysant soul have disapeared in a modern Rugby where all the player seem the clone from each other: body builder, professional with all what that's mean as: a kind of robot player . The worst are this mediatic ridiculous show like the Parisian club try to make. In the past it was revelating, when a player make a goal (I dont know the name in english) it was so, without demonstrative joy, sobre, he was a part of the group and he know that. I can easily imagine that the well educated and academic english player doesn't understand all this french background. The englishmen played against farmer, backer, carpenter ect and after all it was no so bad. But in the another hand sometime the antic "Soule" came out from deep and the fight and violence comed up. Sorry I did a lot effort to exprim my idea in english. I come from an uneducated low class people after all ; Merci d'avance pour votre effort de comprehension. Congrutalation to the magnific All Black and the Maori people. [/QUOTE]
