Friday Funnies - Rugby players special of the Weakest Link
The show, for those of you who've never seen it, features the feisty host Anne Robinson as she works her way around the contestants, asking them questions that increase in difficulty as the rounds go on. The idea is to get as much money for the team as possible in the allotted time.
At the end of each round, votes are cast to get rid of the weakest player. At the end, the last man standing takes all the money. In this case, the idea was to raise money for a charity of the winner's choice.
The whole show was an hour long and really enjoyable, but for the sake of posting on here, it's been cut down to less than ten minutes and includes just the best bits as the players battle each other, and the host, to see who is the smartest of the group.
There's a few of the bad question and answers included, but also the bits in between where there's quite a lot of banter between Robinson and some of the guys, with one Frenchman in particular taking her fancy. Enjoy.
Friday Funnies - What does an alternator do?
Paul Sackey's astounding rugby knowledge
David Strettle's astounding rugby knowledge
Note: Thanks to the BBC. You can view the entire show via their iPlayer here if you're in the UK.

Also nice to see some of the other regulars on here know how to count.

I was a little disappointed when they messed up on the easy ones.

She (And everyone else) seemed to be having a blast... except for the "Haka" bit. Even I cringed at his discomfort.
However, If I was ever given the chance to do the Haka as a starting All Black, I doubt I would ever forget it.

Loved the responses from some of them, that also has to be the worst haka I have ever seen.
You'd think Jamie Roberts would be more intelligent than that, y'know, considering he is training to be a doctor.
It really was funny, everything about it was perfect apart from Anne Robinson, they got all the rugby stereotypes rolled into one nine minute clip.

e.g. out half is a five eights, or first 5/8th.
SH is always going on about 8ths, and it is how NH used to speak too

His comment about remembering where Anne's changing room is from last time was classic - and delivered with a cheeky grin!
Unfilled rugby talent sadly.

And the tag "Because he's a forward". Classic. :-D

4/8ths is a half....whittle it down and you get 2/4th's and once more, hey presto its a 1/2 or a half.....factorising my friend, factorising...

That said, Justin Marshall is usually a good laugh.
