Well, are the balls going to be stitched/labeled properly, for one thing.

im really into football (american) but i have no objections at all to rugby.. ive never personally played it but i dont have anything against trying it...

FOUR MORE YEAR OF PAIN!

I've never said what I'm about to say now...


Go South Africa!

Rugby.. as in Rugby Union is the ONLY REAL Rugby...

Rugby league is a battering ram game with No skill played by wife beaters

The WC has gotten me interested in learning more about the game. Holy shit, could the rules get a little more arcane? The referee/official/whatever he's called is basically judge, jury, and executioner.

My only experience with rugby is by way of an Australian drinking buddy of mine when I was in college. He played barefoot and always wore the same tattered, stretched-out sweater. The guy could drink like a fish and was one of the craziest sons of bitches I ever met. He had a penchant for getting blind fucking drunk and sitting in the middle of the street if he was overcome by a sudden wave of fatigue.

Rugby should have died off the very day it was improved during that famous match where someone starting kicking the ball down the pitch, thus inventing Football.

The only thing keeping it alive is private school richboys who like to touch each others willys.

CRAP.



Go Johnny.

Didn't the invention go the other way around?

That's the way I have always heard it.

Also, the laws of rugby were codified way before football.

I think the confusion lies in the fact that both Rugby Football (rugby) and Association Football (football) are variants of the football that existed informally before the codification of the two seperate sports.

Unless you are England who want to play Rugby League in the World Cup Final, Union that is.

Shame for England.

my boyfriend's sister use to come over and we'd sit around and watch rugby together because the guys were insanely hot. then i started to notice that most of them didn't have necks. this is all i know about rugby. hot, neckless guys.
