An unrelated story, an Australian co-worker of mine was telling us a story the other day that in Australian rugby, one of the teams was caught cheating and going over the salary cap, they got docked all the points they had gained so far and were not allowed to gain anymore points win or lose to ensure they would finish the season at ZERO!

That's insane.

I was in NZ when it his the press and it was crazy!! They have to play all their games and they get nothing if they win.
