AN emotional rugby last night declared itself fabulous.
 Dame Kiri knew
A spokesman for the International Rugby Board said: "Rugby is what it is and what it is needs no excuses.
"And by the way, getting Kiri Te Kanawa to sing World in Union was a fairly big hint."
Friends of rugby have rallied round in support, but admitted it had been an open secret in the sporting world since the invention of the rolling maul in 1852.
A spokesman for cricket said: "We're very happy for rugby even though we're still not sure how that can possibly be fun."
And in an act of celebration and reconciliation Welsh rugby's Supporter-in-Chief Max Boyce has agreed to write 'I was there' across the buttocks of the entire Wales front row in bright red lipstick.
Following rugby's brave admission, the eyes of the sporting world are now on football.
The IRB spokesman added: "I wish I could give football a big cuddle and say 'we've all known for absolute yonks and we love you'.
"Come on honey, just shout it out loud and and then we can all have champagne cocktails and dance our little titties off."
Meanwhile golf warned rugby that if it came anywhere near its kids, it would have it arrested.
