Re: Win a signed RWC jersey - WE HAVE A WINNER
I would have to disagree slightly with Yappy. While Canterbury's clothing is of high quality and very reasonably priced, working only part-time means it is not affordable for someone like myself. Therefore I would very much appreciate any free stuff. Thanking you kindly.

That would have been the winner but you went over the 20 word limit.

I love rugby because it brings people together under the banners of mutual respect, friendly competition and fair play. I love openside flankers because they'll still bend the laws to breaking point in spite of all that.

I love Rugby because it's so convenient for the M1 and the M6 the A14. Plus it spawned the best sport ever by a footballing cheat.

what the hell....
I love rugby because it is a full-contact, do or do not sport, where each tackle or pass matters!

Well, it is Rugby Football...
Re: Win a signed RWC jersey - WE HAVE A WINNER
Competition is now closed - I will deliberate with Canterbury and announce the winner later.
Re: Win a signed RWC jersey - WE HAVE A WINNER
Just to let everyone know, I have forwarded the answers to Canterbury to judge. I have not told them who submitted what and have included the entries by the moderation team too - they shouldnt be disallowed from entry due to their work on the board (I have discounted myself though (even though my entry was the best and I would love the prize!)
Canterbury will be choosing the winner - all I have done is forward the answers as this is the fairest way.
As soon as I hear back, I will let you know who wins.
good luck to everyone.

Hobo.
In the remotest possibility that I win the competition, I'd gladly donate the shirt to v2 to auction it on ebay or whatever.
V2 is doing great stuff in the RU community.
