Well, actually, kattie, you need to be in the showers with rugby players and footballers to really know... I prefer footballers'..... And don't imagine that cos rugby players are big, they're big everywhere.... Black men, yes..... mmm Jonah Lomu springs to mind.  |

Can't watch football, have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever and switch off from any news on the game unless its something like England v France ....
Am learning to appreciate rugby a little more tho.

Know nothing about football, but David Beckham is buff!
Was intrigued on Saturday to see the little brother of one of my former pupils playing for England. He was really timid at school!
And aren't you allowed to drink beer at rugby matches?

Judith - we did an exchange to UK with the rugby club a while ago. My 2 eldest thought the funniest thing they had ever seen on the rugby pitch was the adults match when they came off at half time and had a beer and ciggy by way of refreshment!!!

Not sure that the two games have quite been compared and contrasted as intended (!)...
If football may be likened to ballet, and it is by some, then rugby may reasonably compared with oxen dancing the hokey-kokey....

How can you compare two games which are so completely different? The only things in common,are a field and a ball! The players,seem to me,to also be poles apart.Rugby players,just go for it,physical discomfort forgotten. Footballers suffer from "broken bootlace syndrome!".If they are touched ,they behave as if in a very bad drama; lying on the floor poleaxed, it is shameful and not very manly! Rugby players,play on,blood streaming from every orifice,and are led,eventually,reluctantly,to be stitched and then return to the battle zone in their stained shirts!. Money! Footballers are payed obscene amounts to act in their drama.They then spend the money behaving badly,cavorting with pneumatic breasted,air headed women in night clubs and the like; they have never heard of the words "Role model" or totally disregard it! The wages of rugby players,doesn't seem to be general knowledge,so difficult to tell.They too can behave badly but in a "let's go and get pissed sort of way!" It seems to be a heavy drinking,butch kind of culture. To sum up.......................I prefer Rugby!!!!  |
