In honour of the brilliant reactions for the people we played our 'Rugby Term or Sex Act?' game with, we thought we'd ranked the dirtiest sounding term in rugby.
Have we missed any?
10. Loose head
Sounds like:
An oversized condom.
Is actually:
A mobile prop whose head ends up on the outside of the scrum.
9. Tight head
Sounds like:
An undersized condom.
Is actually:
A prop who is hopefully the best scrummager on the team.
8. Hand-off
Sounds like:
Something you shouldn't be doing down the back of the cinema.
Is actually:
The use of your hand, while in possession, to fend off defenders.
7. Meat pie
Sounds like:
Slang term for genitalia.
Is actually:
Slang term for a try.
6. Counter rucking
Sounds like:
The person on top spinning in an anti-clockwise direction.
Is actually:
A defence successfully winning the ball back through some great rucking.
5. An 89
Sounds like:
A ramped up 69.
Is actually:
A move where the no.8 picks the ball up from the scrum and throws to the scrum half.
4. Choke tackle
Sounds like:
An aggressive 'hand-off.'
Is actually:
A tackling technique, well used by the Irish team, where they don't bring the player to ground.
2. Jackaling the ball
Sounds like:
Having your balls.ie caressed.
Is actually:
Stealing the ball at the ruck before the ruck is fully formed.
2. Through the gate
Sounds like:
When the lorry has entered the Port Tunnel.
Is actually:
The area from where you're allowed the join the ruck.

Sounds like:
Getting tied up by a dominatrix
