Advantages: A bottle conditioned ale Disadvantages: Very ordinary. It's not brewed in Rugby
recommended (to prevent the disturbance of any yeast sediment) at 12ºC.
THE DRINK.
The bottle was at its optimum temperature at the time of removal of the crown cap. Rugby Ale pours a mid brown colour creating a short lived head. There is a good sparkle in the glass and a slight turbidity (I allowed part of the sediment to wash into the glass with the final beer). A small amount of yeast was also left in the bottle.
The nose is vaguely yeasty with hops. The first taste is of moderate bitterness with a slightly sour undercurrent. The ale froths if held in the mouth. This is a very ?plain? ale with no appreciable development on the palate and no particular side flavours or undertones.

I drank my bottle on its own. I felt that all ...

Some if the offences that you will be awarded penalties for:
High tackle - anything where the swinging arm makes contact with the neck or face as this is dangerous play. A good tackle should be made either around the legs of the trunk of the body.
Incorrect play of the ball - not touched by a foot
Forward pass - ball is passed forwards instead of backwards
Holding down a player too long after tackle has been completed
Flop - A player has tackled another player and tackle has been deemed to be complete and another player flops on top very late.
Personal opinion
I love this game - it is extremely fast paces with on average a set of 6 tackles lasting less than a minute. Some my argue that the lesser game of Rugby Union is better but they have to stop at every play of the ball for a scrum (rest) .
Rugby league is ...
Okay i know most of you are from england so you may not be familiar with these rugby players but here goes...
1.Andrew Johns - Newcastle Knights
Dead set the best player in rugby league at the moment. He has won many awards and has set up and scored uncountable tries.
2.Iafeta Palea'asina - New Zealand Warriors
Definately the strongest forward in the game. Takes about four guys to pull this guy down and he as such speed and power.
3.Darren Lockeyer - Brisbane Bronco's
A classic fullback, he can kick well pass well, tackle well and run well. This guy is definately on of the best.
4.Gordon Tallis - Brisbane Bronco's
A great second-rower and captian to his team has represented Australia many times and is another hard worker in the game.
5.Brad Fitler - Sydney city Rossters
You might think this guy should be ...
