Nice to see that Rugby Union is still popular back home...

Popular........... and growing by the day. Lots of stats to support the idea that mums and dads are taking their little angels (male and female) along to mini/junior sections at rugby clubs, rather than chavball............

I like both games but nothing comes close to football and nothing ever will and to be honest i don't see much difference between Rooney and Barton & Co compared to Tindall and Moody & Co .

All are overpaid , underworked and have underachieved , all no different than each other when pissed up in a bar . Some would love to take the moral high ground for rugby players but i'm afriad that's just a middle class myth .

Agree it's a myth - but the same attitudes are found right down to 'grass roots' level in chavball, but rugby is a class apart......

[I also enjoy both games, though, I must admit.........]

Shame that we lost our first league game on such a big day though

I'm a fan of both sports but enjoy the atmosphere at rugby more, before, during and after a game it's much more enjoyable, relaxed and friendly. Don't be completely fooled though, there are plenty of pricks at the rugby too.
