19 Incredibly Important Reasons You Should Watch The Rugby World Cup

Do you need a touch judge?

1. So that you can discover Chris Robshaw's openside.

2. And see Mike Phillips go up and under.

3. Then you can tell Kane Thompson to get in your sin bin.

4. And get taken into touch by George North.

5. But not before you get over the gain line with Sean Maitland.

6. Following which, you could scrum down with Courtney Lawes.

7. And then commit foul play with Liam Messam.

8. Before being taken for... er, fowl play by Rob Kearney.

9. Then you can dream about rucking Aaron Smith all night long...

10. But be careful not to get penalised for failing to release Sean Lamont.

11. Because then you won't be able to crouch, touch, pause, and engage with Toby Faletau.

12. You could score with Josh Strauss...or at least try.

13. But be sure to bind properly with Sonny Bill Williams.

14. The referee will probably let you off for refusing to retreat 10 metres from Henry Slade.

15. It's OK though, because David Denton has the smoothest turnovers.

16. And you know Nehe Milner-Skudder has a weak side.

17. We've heard Danny Care needs a touch judge.

18. And that Jonathan Joseph is always looking to practise his pick and drive.

19. To top it all off, you could be lifted like a trophy by AJ MacGinty.
