Our President, circa 1968

In the picture below, our president is committing three fouls, one of them a cardinal sin. He probably got away with it, but if the ref saw, he'd be out of the game for breaking the gentleman's code of rugby. What is the gentleman's code? Essentially it is 'don't be a complete raving asshole'.

The president is:

1. Leaving his feet to commit a tackle
2. Tackling above the shoulder
3. Punching his opponent in the face.

(Surprisingly #2 is the biggest sin)


The president delivers a 'swift boat for truth'
to his opponent's face
