QuoteRooster Booster="Rooster Booster"Clearly not as mental as the translation.
What has this got to do with RL?'"
Everything.
Hitler played one RL season for Innsbruck Icemen on the wing and he hated it. Got smashed all over the park. He packed that in for a game of soldiers (literally) and then tried his hand at Rugby Union and moved to the Bavarian Brownshirts. He loved it. Whilst basking in the Bavarian sunshine on the wing and having feck all to do he passed the time away by writing a book called I am Camp (or something like that) and hence throroughly enjoyed his time in that watered down version of the Rugby game. From this experience Rugby League had no place in Hitlers' Europe and this is what happened in France. Very vichy goings on if you ask me.

And in a Jeremy Clarkson accent: "..So there you have it. Rugby union caused World War 2. And on that bomb shell..."
I THINK this may be something to do with the Vichy regime banning RL, which wasn't anything to do with the Germans who probably knew nothing of either code. Incidentally, I discovered recently that 'nazi' was a long standing insult in Germany, dating back to at least the 19th. century and meant something like idiot or dunderhead.
