A choir was singing "Guide me, oh thou great Jehovah" when we walked into Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for Wales vs. the Barbarians. I'm still working on understanding the rules of Rugby Union, but right now my primary question concerns Number 8.
Each of the fifteen players in a rugby line up has a name. He can be a Full-back, Winger (there are two Wingers), Inside centre, Outside center, Fly-half, Scrum-half, Loosehead prop, Tighthead prop, Hooker, Second row, Openside flanker, Blindside flanker, or a Number 8.
What happened when they got to Number 8? They just ran out of cool (intimidating) names?
