I used to play rugby back in my school days, wasn't too bad at it either, got into the glasgow schools squad.

Didn't enjoy playing club rugby after school so I no longer have any interest in the game apart from the super 12's and the world cup when it comes along.

Do you prefer Union or League?
I prefer Union

They were well unlucky yesterday and i was looking forward to seeing a drop kick shoot out to decide the tie.

James Simpson-Daniel used to play in the age below me at Middlesbrough, he was quality back then and was always tipped to do well.

Newcastle Falcons are my favourite team (suprisingly) due to them being the only good team near me

Such a close game! It was so tense waiting for the refs decision!

I played union since I was 6 I always enjoyed it thru the younger ages but playing against sweaty 30-40 year olds with a hangover/come down on a saturday afternoon just wasn't my idea of fun.

I did try my hand at rugby league for a couple of summers, it's fuckin brutal, far harder than rugby union imo.

follow it alot. Very enjoyable, more a soccer man myself. Watch mosto f the game when i can, used to play but got to lazy.

Very good match yesterday, Bath deserved it though, they played alot better in extra time. Still wanted to see a drop goal competition.


Next weekend should be good. Ireland vs France should be very enjoyable!


England vs Italy, possible wooden spoon decider!

Shit.. ure from gloucester too!! Its a small world!!! Tend to go to the glos games whenever possible (during the xmas and easter hols) cos im at uni rest of the year! Watched the bath game in the league 2 weeks ago... best game of rugby ive seen.... Apart from england beating france in world cup of course!

working in south africa a bit, you get a lot of rugby culture. I see more news about the aussie super 12 teams in SA than I do in the media in sydney.
Heading to canberra this friday to watch the stormers play brumbies, then next weekend against waratahs. Also just got told I'll be heading to joburg in april for work, so will have to do a short side-trip to capetown for the game against the reds.

How did leeds get to the final, I thought they were shite???
