    Cause some of them may be hiding a link of sausage behind their ears.

    it's a routine task in order to check they have not rubbed any kind of substance behind the ears. Something to rub around their opponents eyes.

    Corrie Sanders got those cauliflower ears from playing rugby, he was an outstandingly talented all-round sportsman.

    That's what you get in rugby, a real mans sport!

    None of this American football with pads and helmets

    A quick shoutout to the Welsh Rugby Union team, who left the English red-faced on their home turf yesterday

    He did play rugby, but its not how that happened. That was during the Vitali fight.

    Although he took a vicious beating from Vitali, i think he's had those marked up ears already in the earliest fight of him i've seen.
