Video of the Day – Monty Python rugby match
Posted 882 days ago
An absolute classic from the comedy legends sees the Derby Council XV take on the All Blacks in sensational Monty Python style.

You join me this week in a very sad mood as one of my best friends is in a coma. I did warn him that a full 80 minutes of watching England “play” international rugby would most likely lead to this outcome. “Take frequent breaks” I told him, I admit that I was only joking…

From Rugby World reader, Larissa Falls
Got any to add?
Hot:
England U18/U19’s… Assured victories notched by both against Australian Schools. With fierce forwards, dynamic backs, the ability to play wide and score for fun; the future’s looking bright. One to watch: George Ford.
Exeter Chiefs…Compassionate and generous in offering to pay for Coventry’s travel costs. In how many…
