* The climax of ''[[Asterix]] in Britain'' features a [[Rugby Is Slaughter|rugby match]] between Camulodenum and Durovernum. The first big tackle of the game results in one burly Durovernum player jumping up and down on the head of a skinny Camulodenum player. The druid umpire blows his horn and calls for a penalty for reasons of "unnecessary roughness" (this in [[The Film of the Book|the animated film]]; in the comic, it's "this is a British sport, not a [[Blood Sport|Roman circus]]!"). The Camulodenum player later takes magic potion and exacts his revenge, by this point the chaos on pitch renders the druid umpire ineffective. |
