just think that if u win u get to bang your avatar
:D
rugby is the ****, one of the manliest sports around
got nothing but respect for rugby all the way, wish i knew some tips for ya!
I got a tip for you when you get the ball run like the wind because your going down otherwise!
:lol: I was watching a game the other night on TV - lots of face bashing with elbows and knocking each other out. In American Football you just tackle - everyone gets hit... but in Rugby, it's basically smeer the queer - if you have the ball, prepare to get hammered. :wg: I have been invited to go play with some Aussies - but haven't... yet... but they want my size on the field...Quote:

actually its the other way round,rugby is like a religion where i live.Football is something you play to wind down.
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.
You realize that is just encouraging me right? :wg:Quote:

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 :p
Wales : Got clubbed by SA, so not much more to say :rolleyes:
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 !!
There are a couple of pro rugby players on here who I know use the board and its information.
warrior - be sure to tape your ears bacck if you r getting in the scrum
No leave your ears out LOL, the ladies love my cauliflower ears!
Rugby is insanely intense and I commend anyone who can hang in a rugby game.
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 :dg:
2004 World Cup Winners - ENGLAND!!!!!!!
Rugby would have to be the toughest game mentally and physically i was brought up on it (that and League) no better place to play than in AUSTRALIA
i love rugby
Live it up mate it wont ever happen again. BTW how many of the last few tests have england won??????................OQuote:

I really didnt think this lot would understand the game but it seems like theres a following eh.
Boks before the aussies? you been smokin too much my sheep rooting friend, I want to see NZ play Australia this year though, I think both teams are fairly evenly matched, but I think NZ are the better team this year in the tri nations, but we'll see. I liked watching the pacific islanders game, watch out they're playing NZ this week, hope your boys don't get hurt too badly. :dg:Quote:

Sh*t man, those islanders look like they were genetically engineered as tackling machines, nothing like being hit by a guy that weighs 105 KG's & does the hundred in 10.3 sec !!Quote:

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....
im a rugger in LA not saying where but playing for a college team im a hooker at about 195 i f***ing love it i just finished my 1 season last semester, im fast enough to move somewhere else but im not sure what position anyone got tips?

I would suggest you try out as a flanker, but be prepared to run around the park like a madman, as you are expected to be at point of breakdown first.
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?? :)
Peace !!
hope so man
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.
Im a pro player (union) who plys his trade in the uk- if anyone has any questions or wants advice feel free to get in touch.

Lol, you got more chance of beating us at football! I used to live with a welsh rugby player. Watching teh six nations with him was fun.Quote:

Phuck off!!! If it was "the game of men" like you say, then why are there 6 units of play where the whole game stops untill the tackled man plays the ball between his legs? with union its pretty much a running game with stops for pretty much only penalties and lineouts, oh and scrums. Speaking of scrums what is the point of haveing one in league? i mean how many times do you get a tight head scrum in league and the opposition gets the ball? id say 1 outta 100, so you might as well just give the team the ball instead of going through the formality of having a scrum.Quote:
