Este es un refrán popular británico que se refiere al juego del Rugby. Últimamente estoy muy deportivo con mis post y espero sacar en próximas entregas otros temas de interés... pero la selección francesa se hizo ayer, tras vencer a Inglaterra, con el torneo antes conocido como el Cinco Naciones y ahora ampliado a seis. La edición gráfica de este post resume este partido de Rugby, intentando condensar el espíritu de ese deporte de villanos jugado por caballeros.
