"Indeed… it does look sort of like…" David Kerslake saw Twain shake his head again and said, "It reminds me of the game we played against Arsenal."
"But they are more thorough and firmer with the recovery than we were that time." Once someone spoke, Twain began to talk non-stop. "And their offense is much rougher than we were. They're just kicking the ball with big strides and relying on two very fast wingers. How can we call this football?" He suddenly got up from his seat, pointed at the field, and said to Kerslake, "Look at their defense and watch their movements. What is Wigan town famous for? It's not football, it's rugby! The straightforward way of playing, frequent body contact defense, and counterattacks with the running speed of a striker are all clearly rugby moves! Just rotate the blue stripes on their jerseys and that would be their rugby jerseys! But! That's not why I'm shaking my head."
