So you would rather Rugby Players cheat and backchat the officials like footballers?

If the rugger fans IN GENERAL weren't so patronising and condescending about football and the supporters then I could embrace it more.
Any gouging and stamping tonight?

Football can learn a lot from rugby. If play was allowed to go on when a player goes down 'injured', there would be hardly any cheating. All the niggly gamesmanship might start disappearing too.
Football is still my favourite sport but certain aspects of it piss me right off-especially the cheating, diving and feigning injuries.

I have no interest whatsoever in Rugby but if England entered a team in the Snail Derby I would want us to win it it. I wouldnt go across the road to watch it but if wife doesnt change the channels and it is on ITV it will be on our TV.

Is that really true though ? All the guys I play rugby with are football fans too.
I've rarely heard people talk about football in a condescending way ? We rip the piss out of some of the feigning injury and diving around like they've been shot, but patronising........no.

Although England are at home, they aren't even going 4-4-2. It's been announced that they're going 2-3-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1 or something like that. At least it looks like they're playing two wide men?

....and there's no Coronation Street because of this.

On the other hand I have no interest in rugby, and will with many other Albion fans be in Wolverhampton watching the Albion without any thought of the rugby.
I am also currently enjoying Ipswich v Birmingham.
1. Deliberate Stamping is a foul, mind you if you don't roll away you deserve to get trodden on
2. High Tackles are also a Foul
3. Brawls are also Fouls
Next complaint?
Sorry you don't like the look of the players - are they not PRETTY enough for you?
1. Sometimes the player cant get out of the way because they are concussed.
2. Well that's ok even if your badly injured.
3.If its 3 v 3 both teams at fault, no foul, as both teams at fault.
Also the constant penalties, where the spectator will say WTF was that for.
102 teams entered this year's RWC. No, it's not football but it's pretty popular

Well, I'm shocked and suprised. I really like Rugby League, but can't get my head around Union
