rugby is fucking shit. i mean the game is alright but all the shite that goes with it? give me a fucking break. the ONLY people who play it in this country are privileged schoolboys and social climbers. the only schools i know of that play it are private schools and the irish team are fucking wankers to the last man. rugby fans are the polar opposite of football hooligans and bootboys but are no less hateful. as i said the game itself is okay (beats the snot out of american football and rugby league defo). oh and fuck lawrence dallaglio - he has a head like those monuments on easter island.

Considering how average the national soccer team is I'm surprise you're all not... fans... sorry, can't think of one.

England is not the UK. It is part of the UK.

Please remember this.

Rugby is not crap.

What is the difference between UK and GB?
To which one belong Wales, England , Scotland, Northern Ireland , Southern Ireland ( I hope I didn't forget any )

Genuine apology, Scotland and Wales are actually proper Rugby countries with great teams.

Salute Scotland.

Rugby is a terrific sport. Seems like there's more athleticism to it than in american football. But I'm just terrified of it and thus have never played rugby (I like having teeth, I like having two dangling testicles).

I've watched my cousin play it though. Fucking brutal.

NOT CRAP.

Southern Ireland!!!! Holy fuck, lucky a citizen of the Republic of Ireland didn't reply to you first.

The Irish fought a bloody war of independence against the British, finally succeeding - minus North Ireland - in 1922...

What he said.

I used to get dragged along to Bradford Northern (now Bradford Bulls) nearly every weekend when I was a kid to stand in sub zero temperatures in the pissing rain watching guys get hard-ons looking at guys rolling on the floor.

My Dad even forced me into playing. After 2 matches someone stood on my collar bone in the scrum. It snapped and hurt like a motherfucker for weeks.

Fuck my Dad and fuck Rugby!

You poms are weird, in NZ we think exactly the opposite. Soccer is regarded as a woman's game, or gay men... all that hugging and ridiculous falling over when your opponent gets more than half a metre from you...
Having said that I like soccer, and find this Class War crap coming from the English rather odd.

It's not a class war. It's simple:

Northerners = Grand

Southerners = Puffs

...so you like league?
