“T-rugby or more simply – Trugby” by Martin Anton Smith
I have a new idea “Tea Rugby”. It’s like normal Rugby, but at any moment a player can say “Tea!”. After the cry of “Tea” then play immediately stops & a very big Tea urn is brought out on wheels to where the last play was. The players then have cups of tea handed out to them (in order of total caps played). After the last man finishes the last bit of tea, play resumes with the players returning to their same individual spots as when the cry of “Tea” first went up. It’s kind of a twist on the Basketball “time out” – this is a “Tea out”. The English will love this new idea!
P.S. The amount of “Tea Outs” is only limited to the total tea that is on hand at the particular venue of that particular game.
P.P.S There will be a prize for the player with the “least dirt on his jersey”, & another for the player that “touches the ball the least”
P.P.S If the Tea runs out mid-pour for any of the players, this means it is a “free for all” & whichever team/player gets to the ball first (which is placed at the last point of play) can use it to score a try – with no regard given for the former player positioning when “Tea” was called.
