A gay mens sport, where they must play with each other, chase each other, grab each other, make the most awkward positions, where tight short shorts, chase after balls which aint even round. It also takes up alot of TV, usually takes over The Simpsons, which makes rugby more gay!

1) Intuitively, a word used to describe a boring sport that simply involves running around with a ball in your hands.

2) An English invention which has never caught on in non-English lands.

A badass sport, not for the weak. Although it does involve more cardio readiness than American Football, the hits taken are not nearly as hard. American football hits have been Scientifically proven to be 4 times harder than a rugby hit. Pads are involved in American football, its is a nastier sport.

Either way, both are tougher than soccer, which is a joke. The comparison between rugby and soccer is that soccer players are Gentlemen off the field but not on the field. Conversely, Rugby players are gentlemen on the pitch but bad asses off the pitch.

A true game of two halves: rugby league - the game played in heaven (why do you think Jesus had 12 disciples) by supremely fit and hard men and rugby union played by fat blokees and a kicker. Aparently England are good at this because they have a player who can hoof the ball over from 50 yards, and an ex rugby league player that can score tries.

Just an excuse for hetrosexual guys to touch other men in inappropriate places - for fun!!!

adj. badass. splendid.
