what the hell?!?
Sort:
Rugby is like your American football without all the padding/armour that you seem to wear. You have to carry to ball over the line and make it touch the floor to get a Tri (which is the equivalent of a touch-down).
I used to play, and still watch. I love rugby, but didn't see your post. Sorry. I'll look soon.
i think the americans have as much knoledge of rugby as we do of american football/ squash each other and throw the ball around
I don't know much about Rugby but I'll check out your post. Where can I find out more about how the game is played, etc?
rugby is like baseball as soccer is like football? the only thing i know about rubgy i learned by watching british tv(are you being served? etc). it looks like the only "sport" WE HAVE IN COMMON IS GOLF AND CHESS. oh-maybe texas holdem if you consider that a sport.
Rugby is basically cross-country wrestling.
haha@'cross-country wrestling.'
rugby is the most bad-arsed sport on the globe. it is so easy to get wrecked but it sure is fun to watch

Too many stoppages for my liking, like cricket and American football. I prefer normal football, that is unless there's a whistle happy ref like in rugby and... blah, blah... you get the picture.
Im a New Zealander and we are big on Rugby over here although I have to admit its not exactly my thing

I actually really enjoy rugby, but the problem is to get into a sport, it needs to be on TV a lot, it needs to have local teams that you feel passion for, and it needs to be played in schools so you understand it and appreciate how good the guys on TV are. I used to go to all the rugby games when I went to BYU. BYU actually has one of the nations top rugby teams because so many new zealanders go to BYU. :)
I remember reading that rugby originally was played between two neighboring towns. The winning team was the one that got the ball to the other town. Or the one that survived.
oh right so don't u play rugby in schools in america surely u dont play fully padded up american football!?! it makes u look like robots and i dont really get it. anyway this post seems to have attracted quite a few peoples attention i think american football is about the only sport along with baseball that is followed big time in america its amazing that in a distance of a few thousand km everything changes so much
rugby rules but i dont follow it.
if you want to talk soccer im down.
Rugby's just like stoppage free football....
with no pads, and some other weird stuff
like the throw ins..or whatever else they are actually called
Rugby.... I compare it to wrestling!
....I can't really understand with it.! :))
It's too physical.
just asking but i posted a topic about rugby yesterday and has had like 0 posts.
is it just that no one likes rugby and prefers talking about soccer and american football or no one cud be bothered to post on it i would appreciate it if some1 would tell me the answer then maybe i cud post some more interesting topics like music or football or cricket. i dunno im sure i cud manage something
