Really stupid sport played using a ball that isn't even ball shaped. There are two kinds of it but few people know or care what the difference is. Invented when a thick schoolboy picked up the ball and ran with it during a game of football. Because he was posh he didn't get his head kicked in, instead he was congratulated for inventing a new sport, which was named after the school he attended. I can honestly say I have never spoken to a single person with any interest in rugby.

alright, for everyone here that thinks that real football (not soccer, you dumbasses) is a pussy sport, i dare you to try it. yea it has pads involved, but that's because the players can be up to three times the size of rugby players (literally). It is much more dangerous to get wrecked by a 450 lb gorilla than a 225 lb rugby player. Sorry to use the American incriments, but im too lazy to convert it. with that said, im playing for the rugby team this yr, instead of lacrosse (at least for now) and so far it is very fun. Having experience both, I can say honest to god that football is definately a more painful sport, and without pads there would be fatalities in every game. However, there is something about the flow of rugby that makes it just as satisfying as American football. The fluidness of passes and teh fact that plays dont stop after someone gets tackled makes rugby a much more elegant game.It's soccer, football and lacrosse all bundled into one amazing sport. While I am still partial to American football because I have been playing it longer and it has become a part of me, rugby is definately a great sport. You Europeans were definately right abt one thing, and its rugby.

1.An excuse for European and Australian men to molest each other under the guise of sport.
2. The most caveman like sport on the planet.

1) A Death Sport
1) A sport where when you lose, they beat you with rugs. And you die.
3) A word that's on my shirt.

A sport involving extremely drunk Englishmen. Like hockey, but way lamer, and unpadded, thereby resulting in excessive pain. Oh yeah, they also go about 100 miles an hour (that's 160.9 kph for you europussies) in hockey, thereby proving the supreme dominance of the Sport.
Europeans, especially the English, have a deep-seated desire for rugby to truly be the most manly sport ever. Soccer, or "football" (see idunno's definition of american football,) can also be used to fit this position. Unfortunately, this is a misconception, based on the Europeans' internal fears of inferiority to the Americans.

Englishman: Rugby is a man's sport. Football and American Football are gay.
Frenchman: Football is a man's sport. Rugby and American Football are gay.
American: FOOTBALL KICKS YOUR SORRY EUROPEAN ASSES AND THEIR GAY SPORTS INTO NEXT WEEK!

rugby player 1: "omg! THE PAIN! OWWW"

Noun: (See also eggchasing)
A bizzare sport played with a ball shaped like an egg that bounces oddly.
Created after some guy was so rubbish at football he picked it up and ran with it at private Rugby School, England, also known as Toff's Palace. Also known as 'the Darkest day in Sport' ever.
The idea of Rugby is to run the egg over the tryline of the opposing team. Alternative points can be scored by kicking the egg between two goalposts (H-shaped) at the ends of the rectangular pitch.
NB: Rugby is a terrible sport. The reasons why follow:
- Is the only sport I know that actually ENCOURAGES you to fall on another man's rear
- The ball is the wrong shape
- Played by snobs who call it 'rugger'
- People pretend its an international sport when really only '6 nations' (4 of which are currently or where part of Great Britain) can be arsed to turn up in the whole of Europe (even San Marino cobble together a team for football, 16 countries make up the European Championships in football) and the only other countries who care about rugby are in the Commonwealth - Great Britain owns them!
- Has two forms to disgrace our TV screens with - Union and League
- You can kick the egg out of play for your benefit (?)
- Anyone under 6'0" can't really get involved
Overall, rugby is crap. England are current world champions beating mighty forces in world sport such as Georgia and Romania to the final. A game for closet homosexuals who like to feel men up when in a scrum.
Play proper sports that are truly international like golf, tennis and football. Ditch the ugly blot of 'sport' that is rugby.
