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.

<<NEWS BULLETIN>>

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.

Guys... don't forget what kind of place Nerima is. I'd bet that not only is that
rule suspended there, but that jock cups are standard wear for all males not
proficient in martial arts. ^_^
