I must agree.  When you're trying to get the ball away, and 23 stone of 
bone and muscle smashes into you, that slows your reaction time.  I am 
of course referring to the sport of rugby, not that silly "World 
Series", which takes part in only one country, where for some reason 
unknown to me they wear huge quantities of armour and need oxygen masks 
after they've run a few yards.  What would happen to the poor little 
darlings if they had to spend the entire match on the pitch?
