Rugby, from anonymous

February 23, 2014 |

I just finished watching England defeat Ireland (just) in a very close game in the Six Nations tournament.

The way the game develops between the two teams is quite reminiscent of markets trading in ranges before a large directional move.

There are a lot of frustrating back and forth with the play not moving much along the pitch. One can observe the crowds starting to get frustrated (and those watching at home or at the pub have gone to get a drink or whatever) then all of a sudden BANG….a player has moved 40 or 50 feet at it's on. Everyone scrambles toward him looking for the pass or to knock him down (no padding over here - take note Gridiron aficionados).

Then after the play all settles down again. Anyway, three cheers for Her Majesty's finest.
