Soccer is a gentlemans game played by hooligans, and Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen!.
Warrior, if you've never played before, DON'T. The Aussies will seriously murder you, I'm serious man.

I started back playing for my local team last season after 9 years of being out of it. I was so unfit you wouldn't believe. Now I'm back in the gym, my fitness levels are up, and my size is coming back, the next season is going to be a stormer! If I come up with any tips I'll be sure to post them!

i've seen a couple of games live, my brother in law was the captain of the us naval acadamy team and his senior year i believe they took 3rd or 4th in the nation. i had never seen it b4 that but man do i have some respect for those mother phuckers.......they are hardasses. Makes football look like a pussy sport.

Coming from South Africa, have watched a game or two!! Here is a guideline or two to the various rugby playing nations:
New Zealand : Will win the tri-nations this year
Australia : Very good until South Sea Islanders are banned from playing
for them
South Africa : Ah I'm sure we will win something soon (not)
Canada : Always win the fights
Wales : Got clubbed by SA, so not much more to say
Yep, rugby is a pretty rough game played by some big buggers who are pretty hard ! I tell you what though, I was watching some football on cable the other night... your American Football players are UNBELIEVEABLE athletes, even though I did not really understand the game altogether.
BTW If you want to see how the game is played, watch the up and coming tri-nations series between NZ, Aus and South Africa.... will be a great tournament !!
Peace !!

I played football in HS, and never really got a chance to play Rugby til now (in college)…
I have the utmost respect for the game, and anyone who plays it…
Right up there beside Hockey and Football in my book

rugby is truly one of the greatest sports created , union or league
theres a diff between two
league has a tackle count and the scrum in league is pointless and well theres more but so many cant tell all

Now this is an intelligent man LOL. Tell ya what i rate the boks up there B4 the aussies, i think aus has had its day and need the old timers to bugger off and let the newbies run with the ball. Did you see the pacific islanders play the aussies the other night, **** the kafers beat them black n blue it was awesome. I really didnt think this lot would understand the game but it seems like theres a following eh.

Enjoy the tri-nations, hopefully I will not have to come back to the board at the end of July to be ripped off about coming third (again)
New Springbok coach seems to have made a huge difference to the confidence of the side, but only time will tell. We have some awesome loose forwards coming over to visit you, but the backline is still up to maggots!! Haven't had a world class flyhalf since Noah left the ark....

Probably a lot more fun than playing hooker anyway........
Enjoy the game (the best), maybe even see a side from the US in the world cup soon??

Anyone see the bledisloe cup last night? we killed the aussies. Good punch up 15 mins into it, after that mortlock prick rucked a kiwi players back with the ball no where in site, then carlos and a few others had the aussie pinned and belted the shyt outta him. Next week i think we play the boks, should be a hard game.
