Rugby ramblings.

The previous picture of the rugby game was what is classed as a lightweight set, that is the later games had the football figures of the lw variety. I also bought a couple of older rugby teams, classed as heavyweight, these are allegedly Australia and the Barbarians. Barbarians I always understood to play in black and white stripes, well my old barbars top was black and white!!!
                            Well I thought, what difference does it make to playability. So I decided to try a game with a hw team against a lw team. Therefore the Barbarians took on Wales, interesting in as much as the drop goal attempts by Wales although on target did not acheive sufficient height to go over the cross bar, and the penalty attempt sadly just sailed past the right hand post. I have noticed that all the kickers behave differently, and I hadn't realised that the Welsh kicker tends to kick to the right! The Barbarians on the other hand had two out of three drop goal attempts go straight over. The final result was Barbarians 13 Wales 0.
    The Barbarians scored a try, conversion and two drop goals. Must get some practice in with the lw teams methinks!!!
