a sport played by real men that aren't afraid to get tackled. unlike that poofy padded up to ur fuckin balls sport that u fat americans play that stops every 10 seconds. every time an american football player gets past the first down line they fall to the ground or run out of bounds cos they are scared of getting tackled even though they are covered from head to toe in pads and bubble wrap. fuckin pussies. saying that pads make the game tougher is bollocks. there are more concussions and serious injuries in rugby than any other ball sport, FACT. saying that rugby and REAL football have no strategy just cos they dont have to remember hundreds of plays just shows how retarded you are. sport is supposed to be about physical fitness and skill. not a fucking memory game. american football game might last longer but that dont mean the players have more endurance and stamina, cos most of the time they are standing around doing fuck all between the plays and only half the team play at a time.

An amazing sport, often stereotyped as a man's game, but girls rugby is growing, and we kickass at it! Requires stamina and willpower.
Rugby is made for all genders - our team is living proof of that.

A highly skilled game. Players rely on each other to work as a unit and to support each other in open play. you cant fall over if someone messes up your hair (like in soccer). and no homo helmets (football). union more flowing than league, but both good. England to win world cup, come on the boys!!!

man 2 - no, i follow soccer.
man 1 - twat.

A sport involving 15-a-side teams that originated in the UK, but is often criticised eslewhere due to its 'rough-and-tumble' nature, ie. you could walk off the pitch with several bones broken after the 80 minutes. It requires the mindset of stone and extreme physical shape, especially lower body and abdomen. Most rugby players start from a very early age in the UK and Oceana due to how 'specialist' most of the skills needed are. Despite the fact that playing rugby is by far more physically demanding than Football (Soccer), the players are paid less than the afore-mentioned counterpart, meaning that it is less financially rewarding to play than other mainstream sports, yet has its own culture that most of the 'born-and-bred' players live by, commonly referred to (at least in my area, this is a geographically dependant phrase) as "Scrum Down, Drink Up". No matter what happens on the field, you can still share several pints with the guy who speared you.

2. “I like to think I play rugby as it should be played - there are no yellow or red cards in my collection - but I cannot say I'm an angel.” - Jonny Wilkinson OBE, England Fly-Half.
