Quote: uglybug "Was it only me who learnt from the RU world cup what a crap concept Union is. You'd have to pay me a lot of money to watch a union game live, it lacks excitement, unless you consider that knocking the ball between the sticks half a dozen times each is excitement.'"
But I don't think RU is about "excitement" ........... I liken rugby to cricket ........... RU is the Test match; a battle of tactics and strategy, it's sometimes slow and boring, but it can be enthralling ........... RL is the T20; stripped down to basics, leaving all the highlight reel stuff, the big hits, the tries, the end to end nature of the 6 tackle rule.
