You must have been in too many rucks left you with concussion. :unsure:

Doubt that more people play rugby worldwide than play cricket in India, unless you mean playing it has to be done on turf/pitch with a ref/umpire and the kit washed afterwards by some housekeeper before the house teams break for rectal flower arranging....in that case I suppose more people might be out there biting, gouging and punching with or without the optinal broken backs from scrum-anigans.

Bet golf, swimming, cricket, baseball, basketball and a few other team games are more popular than Union.

Gotta see some of those 'hospitality packages' to believe it.. read the small print some are not even at the games. :rofl:

Erm this event is actually held at some offsite tent, with a big screen and all you can eat and drink for $5,000 a pop.

Guess who's just bagged a ticket for Eng V Scot?

I don't know how many points a try is, how many players on each team and I can't name one England player but I do know all the pubs up Kingsland.

Sounds like Auckland absolutely mental right now! Hope that helps all the doubters on here! :thumbsup:

My men are off to Hagley Park, so I will no doubt here all about it from them. Grrrrr - should be there!
