Ref - "You're boring the Hooker"
Tight Head - "You're not particularly interesting yourself, sir"
My all time favourite, attributable to Spreaders I believe - player retreating slowly with both hands above his head "Your surrender is accepted, but you're still offside. Penalty!"

| We were promoted into the premier league this year where the standard is much higher than ours and we have already come the wrong side of a hundred pointer. Keeping our players motivated had been our main effort. I've told all our players that we can deal with loosing, but i'm not putting up with quiters and each game we must fight it out until the final whistle. After every stuffing the girls show great charecter and really stand proud of facing these teams without any fear knowing that during the 79th minute they still went hammer and tong at it. Anyway, after a 115-0 lost a player handed me a note that said; "Winning isn't always about finishing first, sometimes it's about finishing".

| Tana Umaga: "It's not tiddlywinks sir." Chris Masoe asked if he had been to the pyramids in egypt: "I can't really remember the names of the clubs we visited" "If I were you I would've just walked off the park" My old coach to our winger on a freezin cold raining day when he didn't get the ball all game. "And John Smith's balls dropped!" An U12 Coach at the end of year prize giving.
Tana Umaga: "I'd like to thank my parents, especially my mum and my dad."

| Playing a game as a student in the Extra Bs against a Devonian club third team. They were (and quite rightly because we were a stuck up bunch) giving us a good kicking on the ground, with little regard for the ball. Our captain approached the referee at half time. For those who care, he was immaculately dressed in white shirt and shorts, and had white laces in his boots. Our captain: "What do you suggest about the kicking and punching sir?" The referee: "I suggest you talk to the fixtures secretary about changing the fixture" We went on to win. This quote is dedicated to the boys who played that day including Skips and Gerry.

When I took over at Gosford All Blacks in Oxford as Lead Coach last year, club captain Rick Benito said to me 'Smudger, getting this lot to follow a game plan is like herding cats....'
Ex Gosford centre Jonny Westwood, when I commented that being on the wrong end of a recent drubbing must have been hard work, repiled 'Smudger, it was pushing warm treacle up a slippery hill for 80 minutes....'

| My U7's were visiting a local club on Sunday 11th November a couple of years ago. The hosts had advised us that training/matches would stop prior to 11:00 for a minutes silence in remembrance. With a few minutes to go I got my boys together and explained how I expected them to behave: no talking, stand still, no pushing, poking etc. They all listened intently then one worried youngster put his hand up and asked "Can we breathe?"

| My favorite rugby quote was by a particularly "narky" scrum half when I refereed a vets game when I was only 19 years old!!!! (Boy, did they look after me afterwards!). For the sake of decency I will leave out a few "key" words - most of which begin with F! I knew I was badly refereeing the off-side at the scrum (AND it was easier when it was the back foot in those days) but my lack of experience meant that I kept watching the ball instead of the players! The scrum half had obviously had enough and turned to the no.7 (within my earshot) and said, "This referee is blind!" In a vain attenpt to regain authority, I immediately blew my whistle, pointed at him and said, "What did you say?". He looked me squarely in the eyes with a look of despar and said, "Oh! Ref! You're not deaf as well are you?" I cracked up! Didn't have a problem with him after that! He bought me a drink
