OK, I am coaching a Womans Rugby team this year and our team theme for the year is to warm down in as many languages as possible! This means counting to tem in that language. If anyone can help it would be good 🙂
The ones we have so far are English, Japanese, French, Spanish and Maori...
Idela format would be.....
Maori..........Phoneticly
Tahi...........Tar he Rua............Roo a Toru...........toh roo Wha...........Fa Rima...........Ree ma onu............on ewe Whitu.........feet ewe Waru..........wah roo Iwa............e wa Tekau.........Tea cow
but if its rugby your coaching you surely cannot leave out Welsh...one of the greatest (if not the greatest) rugby nation in the world.
(the pronunciation is below the word)
1 - Un een
2 - Dau die
3 - Tri tree
4 - Pedwar ped-ooar
5 - Pump pimp
6 - Chwech ch'ware'ch
7 - Saith sigh'th
8 - Wyth oo-ith
9 - Naw naaw
10 - Deg dairg

Rugby Union - it's a game played with an oval ball, developed in England in 19th century by a guy called William Webb Ellis.
It's a worldwide game - best played by (and I'l have to restrain Fixey here !) New Zealand (called the All Blacks), France, Wales and South Africa. England have recenetly come to the fore too.
It's no dissimilar to American football - except it tougher !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's true, no doubt. For some reason, it hasn't caught on here. don't know why. Thanks Lim. Here's some Japanese:
ichi (one) ni (two) san (three) shi or yon (four) go (five) roku (six) shichi or nana (seven) hachi (eight) kuu or kyuu (nine) juu or jyu (ten)

Ty Dave, Rugby will never be big in the USA I feel and this is my reason. The game is played without pads, players use 21mm studs on there boots (between 9 - 11 per boot) if a player on the ground is between you and the ball you use your boots to "Ruck" him out of the way (Often just by stomping on his back and legs). I fare rucking in the USA would probably end up in law suites. Over here if a player rucks you with a bit much vigor you simply wait till the next maul then crush his "Gaulies" to paste, all in good humor of course 😄

I applaud you guys for keeping at least that game "true to form".You are correct, our version of football has come down simply to the use of "force". We don't have "cleats" or "studs" on our shoes anymore (we use glorified tennis shoes) & we don't play on real "grass turf". We now play on "plastic grass" (astro-turf). Pepole still get seriously hurt (paralyzation)by bad sportsmanship such as "spearing" (lancing) & "blind-siding" (attacking someone from their "blind-spot". There are other's that are equally dangerous but I don't follow the sport anymore because of a) the outcome has no bearing/relevance on my life. b) I don't have time to devote to the innumerable hour's that must be spent in front of the tele'. I beleive all of this came about simply because of the littany of serious injuries sprawled across the game day field & not lawsuits because players are "well aware" of the dangers inherent in football.

Actually they do use cleats in American football. They are used on many of the real grass fields. The cleats can be from 1" to none. Cleats are used on astro-turf if the surface is wet. If cleats can be avoided then they are. It has nothing to do about safety. Its all about speed. Cleats slow a player down. American football is all about using speed to exploit the opponents weakness.

Said like a New Zealander - except Fixey fails to mention that if you find yourself on the wrong side of a ruck in New Zealand, they tend to "ruck" you completely out of it. Not a pretty sight !

I stand corrected. You can see that I don't follow the sport other than serious injuries reported in the paper.

To be sure, to be sure, I did how ever notice a few emerald feet flaying red backs last week, an art I thought lost to our northern kin! Still, good to see the Irish havnt lost the importance of a good bit of Biffo 🙂 Good game btw
