The pleasure of rugby

I don't agree that football is more exciting to watch than rugby. The chance of a comeback seems to be a lot higher in rugby than it is football. Anyone who watched the Six Nations match between [glow=red,2,300][/glow]France and Ireland[glow=red,2,300][/glow] will know. And the England v Australia World Cup match before that (ah, just can't live it down). And the Wales v Ireland Six Nations match before that. Now, United, that's a different matter.

Playing rugby, on the other hand, is a lot more fun; you are always on the move and never motionless as you maybe as a centre forward in football when your team is getting absolutely whooped. I'll agree with you loffs, there is nothing like the high you get when making a big hit. I once went a whole match without missing a tackle, and all of them were dump tackles. ;D We recently went on tour to Italy and one of my mates hit a guy, he did a 360 spin in the air and just avoided landing on his head! Maybe you'll want a look:

And yup, that is me following up with another dump.

I'll agree with you there though stretfordend, rugby league seems a lot tougher. I doubt it's a lot funner to play though. There just seem to be too many stoppages in it.

And mufc? You're from Singapore? I'm your northern neighbour from Malaysia!

Never mention that match again! Ireland v England was the greatest i tells ya.
