TCieGre&er Omaha TouringSIde
(GOATS) trounced the Puni Ru&
by club from New Zealand. It was
a rough and tumble match, full of
hard tackling and sweaty scrums.
For four 20 minute quarters, each
side tried to stomp the other into
the pitch anything to get the
ball into the try zone. . .
It appeared to be anything but
a gentleman's game, this Rugby
battle, but when the game ended,
the true international spirit of
Rugby shone through.
"Pictures," the Americans said
to the New Zealanders, miming
photographers.
"No, pitchers," the New Zea
landers replied, gesturing toward
their mouths with imaginary beer
mugs.
After the pictures, the two sides
joined forces for a rowdy song
and psuedo-dance number, which
culminated with more than 30
men, fists down, chests out, knees
together, buns up and tongues
hanging out trying to chant "Shi
sahba, shishaba, sha sha sha."
As is customary, the match
was followed by a raucous party,
where beer and laughter flowed
aplenty. All animosity was left
behind on the pitch as the rug
gers partied like only ruggers can.
