I have just seen "Pretty Womanhood," and there is a flaw in the second
episode on that video.  When Ranma used the nasty smelling things from
the various men's sports teams to cripple Happosai, he used three things: a
jock strap from the rugby team, a unitard from the wrestling team, and a
sash from a sumo wrestler.  Okay, here is the problem: RUGBY PLAYERS DO
NOT USE JOCK STRAPS!!! Any form of rigid padding is illegal, and a cup is
certainly rigid, so a jock strap would not be worn.  Sorry, just a rugby
player with too much time on his hands who nit picks WAY too much.

In Tokyo today, one of Nerima's most promising high school rugby teams
was disqualified from the playoffs. Officials cited the use of illegal
protective gear by the players from Furinkan High School as the reason
for the ejection. Players are reported to be protesting the action.

In other news, sports doctors have reported an alarming trend of
infertility among professional rugby players. Doctors are unsure of the
cause, but note that a general increase in voice pitch also seems to
accompany the malady.
