Austrian rugby strip show caught on Lithuania video




VILNIUS (Reuters) - The Austrian national rugby team tried to get over their 48-0 defeat by Lithuania by staging a mass striptease in the capital Vilnius late on Saturday, only to find they had been caught on video and put on the Internet. The video, put out by a blogger on social community website Virb (http://www.virb.com/justafa/blog/701053) and then taken up by the Lithuanian news portal Delfi, showed a group of 20 men singing and stripping off their clothes on a street in central Vilnius, while people in a nearby bar clapped and cheered. "Yes, these were the men we played against on Saturday ... I guess the defeat could have prompted them to do that," Lithuanian rugby federation President Aleksandras Makarenka told Reuters. Delfi quoted the Vilnius police chief as saying stripping in public could be considered an act of hooliganism -- but by then the Austrian team had gone home.

Lilith,

AUSTRIA.

A Germanic European country renowned for Inspector Rex, Edelweiss, Basement building and losing at Rugby.

AUSTRALIA.

A vast sunburnt country renowned for fun, sex, kangaroos and exceptional Pixies.

Just thought I'd drop that in.

(Edit)

I've just watched the footage and they sounded very British.

Comment from our Brit members?

I apologize. I was sent the link and I copy pasted and paid no attention to the actual article I was busy watching the video.

No excuse but I am sorry.

did anyone else notice the little boy standing down front of the camera? i kept seeing the back of his head when he'd step in front....oy.

"Singing in the Rain", the Rugby version, in English, is a strange song for Austrians to sing.

The other song I think was in German.
