If a sport involving wrestling the ball off the opposition is "silly" then you've wiped out about 50 sports in one breath. Football involves the same principle but with your feet. I just can't fathom why you put finger to keyboard to make your point. Nobody who doesn't understand rugby can appreciate it, fair enough. I don't understand why footballers leap in the air like salmon when they have hardly been touched, and sometimes not at all !
I understand a little better you thinking rugby is silly...... being Scottish.

maybe GS is not a fan of any competitive sport that involves body contact?? that's what I am seeing. and to describe rugby as "silly" seems to me to be a curious use of the word. I do not enjoy most sports involving horses but I would not call them silly - I appreciate the skills but they just don't do anything for me.

anyway - some interesting games this weekend n'est pas????????

NZ 82 Tonga 7. Wales watch out. Wales will beat Italy, and I would like to see the Scots give France a game but I can't see it.

Look the fact that we Welsh are Sh*!ing ourselves about tomorrow, against ITALY doesnt say much for our expectations.

We should be looking for a cricket score. (well an England score against Aussie bowlers anyway).

Wonder if the Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau will be replaced with the theme to the Hair Bear Bunch....

The Welsh have it sorted, all they are doing is fooling the rest of the world into thinking they are a bunch of no-hopers, and next week NZ will field a second string team. Wales will rise to the challenge and beat 'em fair and square......this then means England will have to face NZ in the play-off's. Johnson exit stage left.

The Welsh may be ugly, but they're not stupid!!!!

Scotland however, well that is another story.

Soz FBF, I'm a Scot/Engl/Irish mongrel and used to be 'pretty-boy' centre/winger. However, playing in the mob against the Welsh Guards changed my appearance somewhat...I was quick in those days, but eventually 'the cocky youngster' got caught!
