Dear Lord, we seek from you a victory against the French, a successful liposuction for Ronaldo, and hot sex back at the hotel. Amen!
1 man makes a player.
6 men make a line-up.
14 men make a squad.
Ticker maketh them a Team.

What is Ticker? I'll let Alan Hutchinson, a rugby coach in N. Ireland, explain it himself.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the quality known as "ticker" or "heart" or "team spirit" is the single most important factor in rugby success. It is upon ticker that every other factor is founded whether it is fitness, ball skills, tackling, cover, support, or opportunistic attack.
Teams can win a game without ticker and can lose one even if they have it but if they do have it David can conquer Goliath every time and they may lose but they're never beaten.
