Imagine regular rugby, but with a SIM card instead of the oval ball. Once played, you’re hooked and players say it is difficult to pass the SIM card once they get it in their hands. However they must pass it on or stop the game. The game calls for team spirit, especially when a player misfields a pass and drops the SIM – then everyone needs join in to find it.   Robert “Bob” Babbington, Founder-cum-World President and Global Guardian-in-Chief of the United World-Wide Intra-Continental SIM Rugby Federation (or WPGGCUWWICSRF for short) says that SIM rugby changed his life: “My life until this point has just been a vacuum... a vacuum, an empty shell... and now several people are playing SIM rugby.”   Believing that there’s always room for improvement in every facet of life, Bob expects the latest version to take rugby to an altogether higher level of excellence not even imagined by classic rugby.   Here’s how SIM rugby came into being: One sunny day last year, [Bob can’t recall the exact day, just knows the weather was bright and sunny, a rarity in England], Bob was eating some toast. Having taken a good bite of it, he looked at the piece in his hand and thought that, though inverse in shape, how similar to a SIM card it looked! That afternoon he kept his SIM card in his pocket while he went to the game of rugby that he was invited to play. Bob and a couple of friends were waiting for the game to start and he playfully tossed his SIM card in the air. It seemed to fly with all the grace of a Frisbee-cum-spaceship-cum-kingfisher. The teammates watched with wonder, knowing that there was something sensational in the offing.   SIM rugby is all about passing the SIM on and Bob has some excellent passes to share with you, such as the Billy Pass, the Cheese Pass, the Frisbee Pass and the Giraffe Pass. You too can learn how to make these passes: just watch the demo videos on the game’s website.   England might be the reigning world champions but the way other countries are taking to the game, it is a sure bet that England would be in the bottom half of the world rankings very soon.   The rising popularity of SIM rugby has drawn sponsors such as O2, the mobile phone company that sponsors England’s regular rugby team. O2 has won the right to be the official sponsors of the England SIM rugby team for the next year, with the option to cancel their sponsorship at any time England loses the title. # # #   You can get more information from: Bob Babbington, WPGGCUWWICSRF.
