[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 115879"] and that statement, my young ball loving friend is the key to why you believe more skills are required with football than with rugby. I would think you were much younger when you started developing skills to use in rugby, and therfore you found it easier compared to how you find learning football skills now. It's the same thing with a language, the younger the child the easier they will speak a language, once you get a little older everything gets harder. I could argue that French requires more consentration to speak, a more flexible tongue etc, but that would simply be a misgeneralisation which stems from the fact that I have to learn to speak the language as an adult. Naturally I compare it to the languages I have spoken all my life since being a child, but the trick the mind pulls on you is that the conscious mind didn't really learn to speak the mother tongue, it filtered through it like a dream surrounded. Now if I was French I'd have told you that English or Afrikaans requires more skill to speak. I bet you're a better rugby player than you are a footballer eh? If you had learned to play football instead of rugby, you would've most probably said the opposite to what you are saying now. [/QUOTE]
