Baxter comment in the pub?

Hi,

Can someone help me out? I missed the explanation of the Baxter comment in the pub. I did hear it had something to do with rugby/footy, but in my home country that's a rather small sport, so I don't really get what is funny about it.

It's a homophobic joke.

Jeff explains that Baxter is short for "Backs to the wall boys, here comes Jeff"
"Backs to" is then changed to the similar sounding Baxter.

Ah thanks! My (not so good) English subtitles said Baxter, so I thought it was a name or a sports term.
