Jugger
« on: September 11, 2016, 08:01:16 PM »
An Australian acquaintance of mine has been promoting this internationally. What in the blue balls bugger is it? Quidditch ground level?  I've bought the movie, hoping for blood sports.

For example: What is Jugger?

If you can't make fun of something, it's probably not worth taking seriously.

You have to love the smell of science in the morning. It smells of learning.... or perhaps a gas leak.

The Blood of Heroes (1989) - IMDb

The above link is actually a documentary for Jugger.  It's actually Australia's fifth most popular winter sport, just ahead of Rugby Union.

It's five a side so camping doesn't help as the runner is already past you. Nailing the runner is the objective, the others are just glory points. One on one denial is a losing proposition.
