Isnt Rugby Union shite! Its a proper posh boy's game in England and people only like it now we won the world cup of it, with a whole 20 teams, with even less that are actually good ( )
It just doesn't compare to footy, proper mans game not a poncey game like rugby union, although Rugby league is good! Shame you thrash us as that though
Sorry for the rant, just pisses me off people like such a shit game now just because we're winning
Edit: Fuck knows why I posted it here and not in the UK forum

What part of Stoke you from? I used to live in Hanley.
Anyway, yeah, rugby. I watched some of the world cup, but rugby as a sport doesn't really interest me that much. Rugby Union's alright (because at least there's some flow to it) but I think you'll find that Rugby support in Aus is mainly confined to NSW and Qld. There's also no notion of union being a posh, "public-school" game here.
As for "footy" (I presume you mean what you mean what we call soccer?) being more of a man's game? It's more skillful, probably, and I find it more watchable, but more "manly"? Errr.....

The poms have won Football's world cup which shits on all the Rugby, Rugby League, Cricket & Netball World cups Australia has won. Lets face it, we are only good at the mickey mouse sports.

look just cause more people play a sport doesnt make it better
not everyone is suited to playing rugby or cricket or netball
i see it if that many people are playing it then iot must be easy
once someone explains you the game youll appreciate it more
and if you look at club rugby and compare it to world cup rugby then youll understand how good these guys really are
just appreciate that these guys (from all sports) are at the top because they have certain skills others dont have. plur sport

Not for over 37 years they havent!!! I think after 10 years of NOT winning something you lose the right to brag about having won it in the past....
oh and for the ultimate proof of aus's sporting dominance over the poms - just look at the olympics - need i say more???
