It's a French Rugby Union thing. It may have other roots but it's been done over there for as long as time. A bit like the Rhinos, most French clubs have a band in the crowd so I imagine it's not done over the tannoy like you hear on the tele. It's generally when a team is taking a line out or there's a pause in play (I know, 60 minutes of the 80 then?) and the crowd shout back in reply. They do it at Sale games and I've always found it a bit odd, so I was surprised to hear it on the Olympics the other day.

Look at the bullfights on horse back, the horse control is stunning.

Yes I have seen them.

The guy who plays the trumpet seemingly now everywhere is;

Pepe el Trompeta

[/u




I wonder how they ever came up with that name ?

Pepe el Trompeta, if it is a made up name my very bad Spanish would suggest Pedro de la Trompeta, is more appropriate “Peter of the Trumpet” I think that's what it is? anyway, it’s more Latin than Harry Leatherbarrow which may be his real name.

Or, maybe he has a 'wind' problem
