To commerate the British Lions tour to South Africa and to give Bug readers a basic understanding of the history of Rugby, The Bug publishes a 4 point Supplement today, free to all readers.
1. Rugby was started at a Public School somewhere, by a big fat kid called Webb-Ellis. Playing in a game of football he didn't get a kick so when the ball came near him, he picked it up and legged it, like the spoilt brat he was.
2. The ensuing fight, now called a ruck, was the first and last instance of footballers kicking the shit out of rugby players.
3. The World Cup of Rugby is called the 'Webb-Ellis Trophy". Thats because you pick it up and leg it. Now you don't have to return it for four years, whereas the original Webb-Ellis pick up and run lasted 32 seconds.
4. John Terry's ma recently tried a 'Webb-Ellis' in a Marks & Spencer and was cautioned. Her defence that she was starting a new sport was thrown out. Thats because she wasn't a fat spoilt public schoolboy.
