Too much kicking for my liking, like to see teams run with the ball myself.

Quite dull really. The commentators whooped it up like a pornhub money shot but with public school boy rhetoric. The crowd spent more time waiting to be on the big screen whether they were winning or losing and smiling at the camera like eurovision winners.

Yeah they all looked 3 sheets to the wind with a plastic pint of something purple which they'd probably paid £6 for.

could never get my head round rugby union and now rugby league has got sanitised by the powers at the top. no good old fashioned brawls anymore to break the monotony and sendings off for offences that were part and parcel of the game once. an old mate from school used to go every week but even he cannot stand it anymore.

Went to school where it was football & cricket and the only school that "taught" rugby was the private school. Consequently I had no idea what & how it was played and still don't.
Even after I was involved with a football club that shared the ground (separate pitches ) with the local rugby club and still never understood what the game was about.

Never understood it, tried, but no, it just looked like chasing a bloke with a ball.
I always found it a bit of a social divide at school where you had a choice between football and rugby, the rugby clique in general we’re all social climbers and time proved it.

think it was a class divide. went to the only football playing grammar school in the area where the rest played rugby union. guess what, rugby league was the choice of the non grammar school lot.
