A hooker?

Offensive lineman.

His customers are referees. Like most referees, they are blind, so it doesn't matter! (Joke)

Actually, the position of 'hooker' hooks the ball to his side when it is tossed into the scrum.

to become a hooker

I feared the worst.

[SecondAmendment]

Did he have a fag after hooking ?

You posted this just to get the giggles and spits, didn’t you!

[ApplegateRanch]

A rugby player, who liked to winge, got cut from the team, so became a male prostitute, just like his dad?

Did I miss something in the translation? I thought it was English.

[Bullish]

I’m not going there.

[dfwgator]

I remember Fair Hooker the Browns receiver growing up.

[Veto!]

I don’t like football or soccer but turned on tv one morning and there was Rugby. Fascinating sport, if I had cable I’d watch it more.

Veto!

Your sense of humor cannot be beat

[alstewartfan]

Better yet, several fags!

I have to admit I had to click on the article after thinking, “Oh my, now what!”

“It’s nice to play in a position where you are involved a lot more and get your hands on the ball a bit more and take on those playmaking roles.

A lot of John’s are into that sort of thing. Especially the role playing.

Or so I’ve heard.

[A strike]

Who cares ?

[Peter ODonnell]

Wales, the only country where place names at train stations are longer than the trains. (there is a NSFW version of this, think about it)

[DannyTN]

Yeah I’m confused too. What exactly is the role of a hooker at a rugby game?

[BitWielder1]

Two countries separated by a common language.
