Rugby

[Óttar]

Anyone here like Rugby? I've only watched a rugby game once, but when I saw it I thought it was fantastic. It is like American football, but there are no downs and the play is virtually continuous.

Does anyone know where I could watch particular rugby league football games online for free?

Also, unlike American football, rugby players don't wear massive suits of armour like big girls.

A quick Google got this link http://www.creekrugby.com/ but I find they wish you to commit to ultimately paying software and the sort.

Your best bet would be to get a very good proxy which allows you to watch these highlights

BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes)
ITV (http://www.itv.com/ITVPlayer/AtoZ/default.html)

Rugby Union is the more popular type of rugby played. Rugby League definitely plays second fiddle.

Arawn is correct with regards to popularity. I watch union, its more technical with a lot more use of the brain, with different attributes needed. League is more fluid.

I became a "fan" of it (just saw a couple of games to be honest:P) in Cardiff, and oh I support Wales :D

I enjoy Rugby much more than American NFL football. It's much more interesting to watch, as a spectators' sport.

What a stupid comment. I'd like to see you get tackled by a 350 pound linesman with momentum without pads. Then we'd see who is like a big girl.

Rugby rocks, it is much more interesting that American football, which I find is excruciatingly boring. I don't understand Finnish people who watch the superbowl. The game stops every 3-10 seconds, and then it takes a couple of minutes for everyone to get ready for the next 3-10 seconds of play. It sucks.

I think Wales is the only place in the world where rugby is compulsory in schools as part of the sports curriculum (it was when I was in school).

I think you'll find that according to Wolfie, if a sport is popular in America, it's by definition meant for sissies and girlie boys.

Ameican football is a sport where an individual player's performance matters less than in, say, ice hockey or football. It's actually quite fascinating once you get into it. And yes, I watch the Super Bowl and attend Vaahteraliiga (http://www.sajl.fi/sarjat/miehet/vaahteraliiga/) games on occasion. ;)

It's a national sport here (obviously , since Italy is in the "six nation").

Altough the practice it's almost absent in 70% of the conutry, and centered only in some regions.
