Rugby league: The Australian rugby league selectors today announced the Australian Abnormally Large Chin XIII to compete in this year's Rugby League World Cup.
The special selection committee, comprising Bill Hamilton and Don McKinnon, said the squad was "an exciting mixture of youth, experience and unfeasibly large chins".
The selectors noted that Josh and Brett Morris were the first abnormally-chinned twins to represent at this level and hoped that chin fans internationally would be quick to embrace the "Chin Twins".
They also noted that while Dave Taylor had played only a hand full of first-grade games, and was low on experience, he did have "immense potential, and an extremely large chin".
Eyebrows were also raised about the selection of Roy Asotasi, who is a New Zealander. "Roy is proud of his heritage" said Hamilton "but prouder of his chin. It's enormous, and he wants to be part of this".
The team will be captained by Tonie Carroll who McKinnon described as "a big chin immortal". No half back was named, as McKinnon decried the dearth of big chinned halves in the game today.

Sattler Ups The Ante - The Vigilante, That Is
Rugby league: Scott Sattler has been robbed. I think this is okay because, back in October 2003 Scott Sattler robbed me. Of a grand final victory.
But I digress. He wasn't really robbed - someone tried to rob him and he (Sattler) staged a Charles Bronson-style vigilante action on the robber.
Sattler says if the robber is to be caught "the police should look for a brother or son with half a tooth missing". Gold Coast police are now staffing up to interview every Souths fan in Australia
