    Not just fan....I also play -- I"m a Loosehead Prop who likes to jam his head into the sternum of an opposing prop in a scrum and make him gasp for breath....

    I love watching rugby. My Dad says that "Rugby is a savage sport played by gentlemen, were as Soccor (Football) is a gentlemens sport played by savages."

    There are two types of people. Those that spectate and those that participate. Unfortunately for me Rugby is one that I am a spectator.

    Don't know about the USA, but in the UK there are two codes of Rugby - Rugby League (13 players) and Rugby Union (15 players). I mainly follow League (which is also big in Australia and to a lesser extent New Zealand and France). The team I'm a big fan of is Hull FC. At my age, being a fan is the only option, although I did play many years ago when I was a youth.

    I much prefer Rugby to football (soccer) where they roll about in agony at the slightest touch.

    I like rugby, tried out for one of the local teams but luckily a vacation interferred with my joining up. when i came back & attended a match as a spectator i saw the number of injuries that were involved so slowly backed off the field. How in the hell do you bruise an eyelid??? By having someone STEP ON YOUR HEAD, thats how!

    Will always respect and admire the amount of fitness and guts and determination it takes to play - from the safety & security of the sidelines

    I am tempted to make a smart assed comment about how much better it is that US football but dont want to get spanked by the mods yet again...

    Yep we have league and union here in the US but Union is far more common.

    Rugby done ruint me for (American) football

    Gents:

    Introduced to rugby late in life, in, of all places, Kazakhstan. For some unknown reason, a Soviet army instructor decided that rugby should get attention from the Central Sporting Committee of the Army of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Me? I'm a lover, not a fighter, but the wife played scrum half for the CSC (in Russian it's "Ts Ess Ka") for nine years.

    The first weekend I was in Kazakhstan, in '97, the All Blacks played the English and I bet two English guys at a bar that the English wouldn't win. That match ended up as a tie game, and I lawyered my way into free drinks for the evening.

    When I compare American football with rugby, I want to weep for what has been lost.

    I have digital cable, and with it there is a HD channel that has a show called "Rugby Union" running on the weekends and late night. I love watching it, especially in High Definition. However, never played it a day in my life.
