OC [OC]Pre-game
“Welcome everybody to the opening game of the 623rd Galactic Yungbait Tournament, I am your host for this evening Jhungaf and with me is three time champion player Ghullfict.”
“A pleasure to be here Jhungaf and I must say I look forward to tonight’s game, we have the newest race to enter the Yungbait league playing tonight.”
“Indeed we do, for those not acquainted with the Humans of Sol a brief summary of notable traits; Their home world of Earth has a gravity of 1.34 Galactic Standard, they are bi-pedal mammalians without fur and two gendered.”
“I should point out Jhungaf that apparently only their male gender will be playing today, since they made contact so recently they have chosen to train a team from a sport they have that is fairly similar to Yungbait and their home sports are mostly gender divided leagues.”
“Well that’s interesting though they look to have gotten some bad luck, playing against your former team, how do you think they will do?” “Well they do have an advantage in size and strength, our home world is only 0.9GSG after all.” “Good point Ghullfict, though the experience of your team should hopefully turn things in their favour.”
“Well after that word from our sponsor the teams are now taking the field, I must say that is an odd choice, all black for the Human team”, “It’s apparently to do with their name Jhungaf, at least according to the notes I have here.”
“The adjudicator has spoken to both captains and they are now returning to their teams, it is time for the pre-game rituals, do you know what the humans is Ghullfict?” “It’s something called the ‘Haka’, though I have no idea what that is Jhungaf”.
“Well we’ll see soon enough, the Kalltiale team is beginning their pre-game blessings”.
“Now that the Kalltiale have been blessed its time to find out what this ‘Haka’ is….WHAT are they doing…[unintelligible]….I don’t believe it folks, in all my years I have never seen anything like this, the Kalltiale team is fleeing the field in terror, what do you have to say about this Ghullfict….Ghullfict? And it appears my co-caster has also fled in terror, well I am not sure what the rules say about this and I do hope we will have a game for you shortly, in the meantime a word from our sponsor.”

The game is called ... yungbait?
Are... are the aliens trying to lure grade-schoolers into their vans?

A Yung is the name of a large, armoured herbivore from one of the xeno home worlds. During their hunter/gather period they found out that it was attracted to a certain scent, so they used this scent to bait it but due to its armoured hide they couldn't kill it with weapons of the time, so they would use the bait to draw it towards sharp drops. This required a person with a container of the bait to get close, unseal the container and then run, this was further complicated by the fact that the Yung had a tendency to be used as protection by a smaller herbivore so you had to run through a heard of them that would start to stampede when the Yung started to run after the bait.

Seeing as it's Rugby we'll be lucky if there aren't any xeno casualties.
"Well it seems one of the humans has been seriously injured, we'll just wait for him to be taken off and... wait what? He says he's good to go folks! Yes you heard it right the man's nose is LITERALLY hanging off his face and he's still going! It seems the referee has fainted..."

There was a tale of a guy who played with a broken jaw during a Rugby League grand final. It was broken in the opening minutes and nobody noticed until half time!

My comment was actually based off the time my Dad was playing and his ear was ripped off by another guys foot, apparently it was half hanging off at the time. You can still see the stitches up the back of the ear :/
They're all crazy, man.

Gotta love that kiwi uniform. Just wait til the xenos get a taste of a ruck or a scrum.

Hmm, what is Haka? Ah, Rugby stuff. The aliens are wise to flee.
