I tried watching American football when they showed the Superbowl on latenight tv a few years ago......I cant say as I liked itmuch.....Didnt seem to have much flow....I mean the action would flurry up for a brief spell and then they'd all stop.....and whats with the two seperate teams? a defense team and an offense team? ( have i got that right?)

All seemed very disjointed to me. I like the ebb and flow of Rugby or football( y'know, the original football game....unlike that game which you insist on calling football and which bears closer resemblance to rugby*stops for a moment and takes a deep calming breath*

Rugby is an insane game. Fun to watch.....and excellent practical experience for the medics involved. 'Course.....there'd be less practice for them if the players wore lots of snuggly padding to protect themselves but where'd be the fun in that?

I had a friend who used to be into rugby. He told me stories of what the rugby team are like when they party. .....and when they travel. Frikkin nutters. Rugby lads are notorious here for being complete loons. Bit like your Frat boys. The girls are even worse!
