Rugby Union

November 25, 2006

I just spent a good hour watching a rugby union game and still can't make heads or tails of the rules. It seems to be a bastardised version of American football -- or perhaps it’s the other way around. Either way, it is the gayest sport ever. The men wear the tightest shortest shorts and just run around falling and grabbing all over each other.

Rugby in a man's game. American Football is gay as the players have to wear all that protective gear to stop them getting hurt. Bless them.

Nice blog even if I disagree with your views on rugby.

This is blasphemy! :)

Rugby Union is the game they play in Heaven - shame on you for even thinking such thoughts let alone putting them in writing!:)

I shall now go and join a support group to try and recover from the shock! :)

BTW, if you think the shorts are tight in Rugby Union (do I hear a choir of heavenly angels when I use those words?) you should check out AFL - Australian Rules Football:) http://home.vicnet.net.au/~basiced3/footy/legends.html

All the best

If you think Rugby Union is gay, you should see Rugby League.

Hiya. Let me confirm that American futbol is most definately a bastardisation of rugby! And the fairy in armour version too!! :P
Thanks for stopping by the blog. Cheers!

Rugby Union and American football is fairly boring. Aussie Rules is okay in person.

Ha ha ha!

I need add nothing more to the above though. Very funny.

I felt the same way about rugby until someone explained it a bit to me, then I was totally into it...enough to actually play! Now I can't even managed to watch 30 seconds of American football...it just doesn't compare.

And those ruggers have some seriously HAWT legs!
