London, England, October 24, 2009 – England’s all-star rugby team defeated the Rest of the World team 7-2.
 
SIM rugby, the latest craze that’s spreading across England, got a boost with England defeating a World Team comprising some of the best players across the globe.
 
What is SIM rugby? Regular rugby played with a SIM card instead of the oval ball. Players say it is much more appealing than the ball game. It calls keen eye-sight, especially when a player drops the SIM card – because then it needs the whole team’s effort to retrieve it. Being less physical, it is a free flowing game resulting in fewer injuries, the most serious ones likely to be cuts in the players’ hands.
 
Robert “Bob” Babbington, visionary inventor of the game and its honorary World President and Global Guardian-in-Chief of the United World-Wide Intra-Continental SIM Rugby Federation (or WPGGCUWWICSRF for short) thinks, “it’s just a matter of time before it takes us all over and burns us from the inside.”He believes that regular rugby, with the inflated oval ball, can be improved, just like everything else and that the latest version can take rugby to levels of excellence not even imagined since that first villager idly kicked a pig’s skin around while waiting for his dinner to be served.
 
The beginnings of SIM rugby: One day in 2008, he forgets when, Bob was eating some toast. It struck him that the piece of toast he had been nibbling at had the shape of a SIM card. Looking at his real SIM card, he marvelled at its intricate engineering. Later that afternoon he took his SIM card to the game of rugby that he was due to be playing. As a sort of warm up, Bob and two of his mates were just chucking his SIM card around. It flew like a Frisbee-cum-spaceship-cum-kingfisher through the air. The three teammates knew that that was it; it was the start of something sensational.
 
SIM rugby is all about passing it on and Bob has already invented some passes: The Billy Pass, the Cheese Pass, the Frisbee Pass and the Giraffe Pass. Find out how to make these passes by looking them up on the game’s website given below.
 
How addictive is this game? Take Bob, for instance. SIM rugby means more to him than anything else, including his wife. He eats, thinks and breathes SIM rugby and dreams that soon every single human being on the planet will be a SIM rugby player or at least a fan.
 
Right now England is the undefeated SIM rugby world champion, but things could change once other countries take up the game in earnest.
 
The growing popularity of SIM rugby has seen O2, the mobile phone company, win the rights to be the official sponsors of the England national team for the next two years, with the option to cancel the sponsorship after one year.
