There's nothing quite like a proper rugby joke. Here are five belters to make you chuckle
1. Mysterious substance
Scotland's training was delayed for nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.
Head coach Gregor Townsend immediately suspended practice while police and federal investigators were called to investigate. After a complete analysis, investigating forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the try line. Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again.
2. Flight gone wrong
The club president, coach, a prop and a wing are taking a charter flight to the cup final when the engines cut out.
The pilot enters the passenger compartment and says, "We're going down. There's only four parachutes! Since I'm the pilot I'm taking one," and then jumps from the plane.
The coach says, "Without me the team won't have a chance, so I'm taking one," and he jumps out.
The winger says, "I'm the fastest and smartest man on the pitch and without me the team can't win a game, so I'm taking one," and he jumps out of the plane.
The club president looks at the prop and says, "You take the last parachute. The team needs you more than it needs me". The prop responds, "We both can take a parachute. The smartest man on the pitch just jumped out of the plane with my kit bag on his back."
3. Tea
What’s the difference between Scotland’s rugby team and a teabag?
The teabag stays in a cup longer!
4. Ultimate betrayal
The family of Welsh rugby supporters head out shopping one Saturday before Christmas.
While in a sport shop, the son picks up an England rugby jersey and says to his sister: “I’ve decided I’m going to be an England supporter and I’d like this jersey for Christmas!”
The sister is outraged at this, promptly whacks him round the head and says, “Go talk to your mother.”
Off goes the little lad, with his white jersey displaying the Red Rose in hand and finds his mother.
“Mum,” he says.
“Yes, son?” she replies.
“I’ve decided I’m going to be an England supporter and I’d like this jersey for Christmas.”
The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him round the head and says, “Go talk to your father.”
Off he goes with jersey in hand and finds his father.
“Dad?”
“Yes, son?”
"I’ve decided I’m going to be an England supporter and I would like this jersey for Christmas.”
The father is outraged at this, promptly whacks his son round the head and says, “No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!”
About half an hour later, they are all back in the car heading home. The father turns to the son and says, “Son, I hope you’ve learned an important lesson today?” The son turns to his father and says, “Yes, Father, I have.” Father says, “Good son, and what is it?”
The son replies “I’ve only been an England supporter for an hour and already I hate you Welsh b******s!”
5. Packs a punch
A Welsh rugby legend is living in his house with his three children.
One of the children ask “Daddy, why is my name Try?”
“Because when you were born I scored a Try!”
The second child said “Daddy, why is my name Tackle?”
The Legend replied “because when you were born I made a great tackle!”
The third child came along, “Daddy?”
“Yes Punching-Referee?”
