Hmmm ... re: swimming, one has of course to remember that unlike us
humans,
ducks keep their upper torsos and arms and head completely outside the
water
when they swim (mummy teaches them how to do this), which they do quite
fast,
so I personally think that some kind of water polo sounds ideal, except
of course
it'd be much faster than the RW game, more like rugger.
I'd also suggest a heavier-than-water ball, to keep the game interesting.
Ducks are of course superlative underwater swimmers too ...
Each team probably has a couple of swimmers who specialise in long
underwater
sprints ...
Attempts to move upfield involve one player carrying the ball
followed by a line of other players. The defenders tackle the guy in
front who
attempts to either get past, or passes the ball back to the second in
line, and so
on.
And cigars for the winning team ; probably goes without saying, but
Wauugh !! ,
there can NEVER be too many cigars in a thread about ducks !
