Whether you're at Stade de France, Stade Toulousain or just in a right old stade, the best way to fit in with the locals - apart from juggling the traditional merguez-et-demi combo up the tribune steps - is to yell a few choice phrases during the game. Here's Le Rugby's Top XV lines for you to cut out and keep.

Mains dans la melée!
This is what you shout when the opposing team's open-side is trying to scoop the ball back on his own side.

Le cadeaux de Noel, arbitre?
A question to be asked to the referee during games in January, when he's blown up yet again for a petty infringement

Il l'abaisse arbitre!
Otherwise known as the Jason Leonard line, this is how you let the referee know that the opposing team's loose head prop is bringing the scrum down.

Croisement!
Time to place your hands side by side, palms facing you, and move them back and fore to signify the opposing team's centre's scything break was only possible due to crossing. It's a little known scientific fact that rugby supporters are unable to shout the word 'crossing' without motioning with their hands.

Il est sauté!
When the opposition hooker is struggling with the home team's scrummaging power and decides to stick his head above the parapet.

Tournez-le!
When the scrum half emerges from a ruck and is faced with a four to one overlap in the backs.

Mettez de la neige la-dessus!
Helpful advice to your outside half when the opposing team has just brought in its replacement full back

Droit dehors!
When the outside half has kicked to touch and forgotten he's outside his twenty two. A common cry during Arwel Thomas' stint with Pau.

Tous les temps arbitre!
Helpful advice to the referee after he eventually starts noticing the opposition's misdemeanours.

Ouvrez vos yeux arbitre!
When the above isn't happening and you want to give the referee a piece of your mind.

Prenez les trois!
Wise words as a penalty is awarded in your team's favour within kicking range, as they hold a slender, five point lead in the dying minutes of the game.

Outre du cote!
A well used phrase amongst home supporters when Munster travel to France for a Heineken Cup clash.

Il tue la boule arbitre!
Again, a particularly useful and common phrase when a Munster player is stopping the flow of the game.

Pied dans le contact!
Piss on the away supporters parade as they falsely celebrate their left wingers dance into the corner, not realising he failed to stay in play.

Pas directment!
In honour of Steve Thompson, this is what you shout when the opposition's second row has taken the line-out ball in the scrum half position.
