Re: Rugby... never popular in Accy?

Rugby is a thug's game played by gentlemen (and ladies so it seems), football is a gentleman's game played by thugs. So I'm told.

Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending to be injured, rugby players spend 80 minutes pretending not to be injured.

Not watched much rugby - so I cannot explain the differences! But I do enjoy it when it's on TV. Not got a team apart from the national(s) as Blackburn is devoid of a pro team. Keep it up, if it makes you happy; nothing else matters =)
