Rugby is great (sorry... Not Crap).

And New Zealand should win extra points for the uglyness of our players (this picture doesn't even include Anton Oliver and look at them! ugly!):

I like rugby, though I can't vote here b/c I also enjoy American football. I gotta believe rugby players are fucking crazy, though -- going at it without any pads on.

There needs to be more rugby on American television. My favorite "foreign" sport, right up there with Sumo wrestling.

Union is the only rugby, "rugby" league is not rugby.

then you are southern, a toff, probably fat and certainly a cunt

New Zealander, not toff, not fat and most certainly not a cunt, you limey bastard.

Rugby is violent soccer fans on a field of grass wearing short shorts - minus the shivs and broken beer bottles.

Crap.

Football, minus the grace, romance, finesse. CRAP

Ummm, no it's not. I'm sure most soccer fans here will agree.

... lets not get started on American Football... or "girlymen in tights, with pads and helmets that are chess pieces for the coach"

Maybe you've been watching a few too many England games...

Anyone who has ever been to university in Britain knows that rugby is the preserve of closeted-homo jocks who need killing immediately. Rugby is fucking shit and can fuck off immediately.

I don't understand the "gay" comments. Surely the only true gay sport is Penis Jousting. The only time Rugby has ever been gay is when the English national press sucked ‘Johnny’ Wilkinson’s cock for six months after the last world cup.

Rugby is great – aggressive, tactical, skilful and fun.

Football (Soccer) on the other hand... well, any ‘sport’ where it is considered a legitimate for players to feign injury when touched by an opponent, or pretend to be fouled, or dramatically fall over in order to gain advantage is just wrong. Any ‘sport’ where the commentator’s devote large amounts of time to your national team captains hair cut is just prissy... it this what you English blokes really consider to be a great game? Why don’t you just embrace hair dressing, fashion and the dramatic arts as your national games? Because that is pretty much what your soccer equates to.

Grace, romance and finesse in football!

She is the funny, no?
