Sorry to upset anyone but Rugby Union is terrible to watch, can you imaging going to LSV and watching people kick at goal at every opertunity? i'd rather watch Chess!

I couldn't agree more, i'm not big on soccerball, but at least they try and do something and the odd game is quite good.
There is NEVER a good game of yawnion.
The rules and point system contradicts everything that could make it good to watch, it's a rich, toff sport that is too stubborn to change it's draconian ways.
30 fat men is far too many people on a pitch to create anything remotely entertainting, and there are players in each team who's only skill is:
1. Being tall, that's it.
2. Good at kicking, because that's how you win.
3. Being good at pushing (think you need about 8 or 9 of these players)
4. Catching, and being ale to kick into the stands (full back)
All it is, is a rich sport, with all the media and colleges and middle class morons behind it, it can't fail, no matter what it does as it integrated into the middle class societies.

I hate it.

But you've probably guessed that.

Totally disagree, trust me where i come from it is not rich and its not middle class, union in Bristol is a massive outlet for young kids and the adult amateur league is played by 100's every weekend. I agree the game is ugly and yes I do prefer rl but to call it a middle class rich sport is just wrong.

I think you should re phrase your post reading that at international level it is watched by the posh middle classes because they are the only ones who can afford the ridiculous price of the tickets.

Whatever you think of the sport, there is no denying the standard is SHOCKING!!!

Running, passing, etc, and you can sense there is no one at all that has the nous to create any chances, or use any flair.

Disagree with wurzel, it might not be a class thing in the South West, but it certainly is in the Home Counties, and thats why it gets so much media exposure.


Oh, and i hate it too!!!

Not an upper class sport in the Welsh valleys either. Cousin played at a good standard for years and he's as common as the rest of us icon_smile.gif. BTW good luck to Wales against S'Africa tomorrow.

I like the one that I quote that Yed wrote. Of Matty Blythe:

'he's like Kevin Penny on steroids, except he's good too'

Genius.

With Union their issue is the majority of teams play not to lose and not neccessarily to win big either, but to hopefully nick a few drop goals and penalties then pin the other team in their half so they have no chance of kicking goals.

If you saw the game this morning when the argies could only win by scoring a try with 5 minutes left they began to throw the ball about and had England desparatley hanging on. Now the question surley is why where they not doing this for the 75 minutes prior?

Bar the All Blacks, and possibly England and Australia (but only when 20+ up) no team in Union can successfully and at pace pass a ball, hence the reliance on kicking.
