IRB ruling - Scotland to start each match with +10 points

Bernard Lapasset wrote:"The IRB has reviewed the recent 6 Nations and has decided to make things a little bit more competitive, as no one wants to see Wales, England, Ireland and France doing well all the time.

Given that the SRU are as useful as a Durex in a nunnery, we are taking things into our own hands. From henceforth Scotland will be given a 10 point head start against any opposition ranked higher than them in the random number generator that is the IRB rankings. We appreciate that this might not be enough in most cases, but we can only help them so far.
 
In addition the following players are banned from playing against Scotland in a bid to make things more competitive:

Wales - anyone with the surname Jones, Jenkins, Davies or Roberts.  We appreciate this rules out 95% of the Welsh population but you will still find yourself competitive against Scotland.

Ireland - anyone with O' at the front of their surname.

France - any player that likes wine and cheese.

England - no restrictions, the IRB likes seeing England give Scotland a good old rogering.



When asked about this change in rules Scott Johnson said the following:

"Fair dinkum mate, you know, Scotland is like a bikini, a bikini on my body, not nice to look at with random hair coming out all over the place."

That was all he said on the matter.

We hope this makes the game more competitive, and we look forward to future Scotland internationals.


p.s. we're not doing anything about Italy, because we don't like them.

Now we're talking.

I mean, fair's fair.
