Personally I hate rugby because I'm a scrawny weakling :v: But it's better than alot of sports and I'd rather do rugby than say, football or something tedious like that.

nice but just because you're scrawny doesn't mean you'd be bad at rugby! I'm 6ft 2" and only 80Kgs but even if you don't think you'd play contact, Tag rugby is really fun so don't rule it out!

respect but he shouldn't have taken drugs!
I started playing again this weekend after 5 years out. Hadn't played since school and was asked to play again when the coach saw me warming up with some friends before they played. Played this weekend on the wing, scored 2 trys and made some great tackles.
Can't knock the sport at all, love it. A man's game. Even after you put a guy on his ass there's no hard feelings after the match and you have a laugh over a pint after the game in the club house.

Well said and well done on what sounded like a good game!
Rugby don't watch it much, I like to play it sometimes not every day but yeah it is a good and fun sport.
I cut my knee and my shin playing rugby today.
My friend got concussion.

tough break! Did you win at the very least?
My friend broke his collar bone whilst playing touch rugby not so long a go. What an idiot!
I don't like it or any other sport for that matter, but over the years I have learned to respect it unlike other sports.
Also, it's funny in college because I think I'm the only one in my class to actually play rugby
and I'm one of the scrawniest people in the class!
I used to play in school, I was a prop or lock I'm not sure which.
The scum fucking sucked to be in. :frown:
And I was ALWAYS in the lineout. :v:
It's a more brutish version of American football with simpler rules, and that's why I'll always prefer it.

It isn't American football a version of rugby as rugby most likely came first? :v:
Its just football except rugby players arent overpayed losers
I play American football, and I really want to try rugby. The main college in my town got a rugby team about 2 years ago. It looks fun as hell.

If you were at the front of the pack,you're a prop. middle of the pack, you're a lock!

True! american football was first played in 1869 where as rugby, well the first official game was played in 1845 but had been played for around 60-70 years before hand just with slightly different rules!

I was a lock then.

lucky bastard.
This sport is really feminine. I mean, at one point the guy convulses and sticks his finger up another dudes ass really hard so he starts flying, and then grabs the ball mid-air.
Conspiracy if you ask me.

But I like the sport, I went to one of the matches here in Newlands.
Just here to say i am thinking of playing rugby for a club.
I prefer it much more over Football. Infact, I hate Football.
I love playing football, yet i can't stand seeing a match on TV.

I lift people up in line outs by there legs not ass..... sure it was rugby you were watching?
It doesn't really tickle my fancy although its fun to watch at some points.
Still impressed that so many people like or at least don't hate the sport!
Fucking Rugby. The only reason it's called a sport is because there happens to be a ball on the pitch at the same time as a bunch of people attempting to beat the shit out of/rape each other.

Wow.... Love it. No actual reasons for bashing just doing it for the fun of it..... "Obvious Troll is obvious"
Also when the most interesting thread you've ever made is "I ate a sandwich" it kind of says something about the quality of your character!
:iceburn:
[QUOTE=Zer0;25007347]"I'm scrawny and suck at everything athletic"
:( rly now. no reason to bash one of the manliest sports known to man.[/QUOTE]
Not as manly as the slamming-into-other-men-with-huge-junk-sport.
I think it's called football, American football.
I absolutely adore Rugby.
I support the Sprinboks <3
And I have all my life.
I can't play it though.
Wouldn't be very comfortable being tackled.
And I don't think they have mixed gender teams.
