Any French speaking sport fans? Need a little help
« on: October 11, 2004, 05:27:10 AM »
I'm hoping some kind person can help me with the French versions of some common Rugby (Union) terms (to go with a list of variations I have for the English versions):

Drop Goal                             Drop?
Penalty Goal                          But?

In Game:
Tackle                                    ?
Scrum                                    ?
Lineout                                  ?
Ruck                                      ?

Players:
Player                                     Joueur
Captain                                   Captain?

Player Positions:
Forwards (collectively)          ?

5 (Right) Lock                        Deuxième ligne (Seconde ligne?)
6 Blind-side Flanker               Troisième lignes  aile
7 Open-side Flanker               Troisième lignes  aile
8 Number Eight                      Troisième lignes  centre

Backs   (collectively)              ?
9 Scrum Half                          Demi de mêlée
10 Fly Half                             Demi d'ouverture

12 Inside Centre                     Trois-quarts centre

Penalty Goal  Tir de pénalite (we commonly call it a.. penalty)
Pass                               Faire une passe
Free Kick                                Tir gratuit?
Forwards (collectively)          Avants
Backs   (collectively)              Arrières


I can give you these, but am not a sports fan... so don't take it for granted :)

How can you have an intelligent discourse on Rugby and not have the term "elephant walk" part of the discussion?
