| A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven,
Plus five, times eleven,
Is nine times itself and no more.
(It's true arithmetically, by the way.)

In the game of rugby football it is a high kick towards the opponents'
goal line. The essence of the manoevre is that the kicker should ensure
that his team-mates are all onside (if not immediately, then as quickly
as possible) and the pack of forwards should thereby be given time to
cluster around the ball and generate a scoring attack.

Those who know that Widnes, Warrington and Workington are more than
mere marks on the map of the UK will remember Eddie Waring who used
the term 'oopandunder' to refer to this play.......

| Yup...that's what a garyowen is. It was named after a rugby club
in Limerick(called Garyowen BTW) who first used this tatic way
back then.
