i've had chances to view Rugby and I didn't find it very entertaining compared to American Football. Maybe it's in the production values with commentators and on screen information such as the score and time. There is nothing like this on the Rugby broadcasts I've seen.
I'm guessing Rugby in europe has the production values as well.
but XFL sucks |
See thats partially the point, to me NFL seems pretty much to be flashy BS. E.g. the super bowl 24 hrs coverage for 15-20mins of play time.... :(
But in the rest of the world (not just europe) it is a minority sport (though so is american football really), but it gets the same treatment production wise as football (soccer). Though the internationals are the only rugby I watch (though I used to play it, I was a skinny winger lol). |

| Yeah the 6 Nations is a good tournament, It's a tough one to call this year indeed, anyone of Wales, England or France could win it...I think Ireland have less of a chance. Sorry Dervish but the Jocks will be fighting with Italy for the wooden spoon :(:D |

Being scottish has it's ups and downs:
- most of our teams are
+ we can adopt any given team..... so long as they are playing england (also we invented everything... except maybe the lightbulb)
So... in reality we have 31 teams at the world cup. :stongue: |

Check out this vid: click here
got to love "the prodigy" as background musik :crazy:
That might be a reason they need all that equipment. Notice none of the players fell to the floor as if they were pushed down by a school girl at there local park. Most of the players flying in the air are "250+ pound" runningbacks.
I understand all the "yellow, red card" thing in football, btw. |

>Or without the pads< <<< note thats not the worst thats just some (mostly)aussie league (as opposed to union) ones, no dump or spearhead tackles ( music tho... lol) rucks and mauls are worse cos you get stamped on |
