It's probably worth practising a few Rugby-appropriate expressions in French as we head closer to the RWC.
Although most of us will be where ever it is we are and not in France for the Cup it may seem unnecessary. However, French is a musical language and abuse hurled at the ref on television sounds must chic-er than if proffered in English (or Australian).
Par exemple ...
Envoyez-le au loin ! (send him off!)
Arbitre, tu as besoin de lunettes ! (ref, you need glasses!)
Les Africains Du sud trichent encore ! (The South Africans are cheating again!)
Dan Carter est très beau (sigh ...)
Et bien sur .... Vivent les Australiens! Vivent le vert et l'or !
Start practising today so you're word-perfect in time for the first match :-)
