Rugby Prayer


Rugby Prayer

Our ball which art oval,
Gilbert be thy name.
Thy will be kicked,
Thy will be passed,
On this pitch, as it is at Wellington.
Give us this day many tries,
And forgive us our fouls,
As we forgive the ref who notices them.
Lead us not into touch,
But deliver us from penalties,
For thine is the tryline, the goal kick, and the glory,
Ruck over and over,
Amen






Our Bokke, who art in New Zealand,
rugby be thy game;
Thy tries will come, the rugby world cup will be won,
in 2011 as it was in 2007.
Give us this day our penalties,
and forgive Bakkies his trespasses and penalize those who trespass against us, lead us into celebration and deliver us from New Zealand,
with the Webb Ellis Cup,
the power and the glory!
Forever and ever,
GOOOOO BOKKKKKKE
