10% of r nfl threads will have massively upvoted comments about refereeing being corrupt.

I've been to two hockey games this year where someone has thrown a water bottle at the refs while they were huddling.

Soccer worldwide is by far the worst but rugby is much better than the average American sport,

 

[BrokenWing]

You're just trolling now.

Now?

 

[ChicagoKid]

Now that's something I can agree with you on. We are absolutely far too negative when it comes to comes to Rugby. The only place that's different is France where they celebrate the game and that's the most successful rugby country in terms of the domestic game.

Exactly! Healey is an incredible analyst of rugby. I learn something new every time I watch a game he is on.

However, his constant negativity is so tiresome. I want to scream at him, "Dude, you get paid to watch rugby! Act like you enjoy it."

Again, proved my initial point. Reddit is a cesspool of anti-social losers. Someone who is on Reddit is seen as weird over here.

At a recent wedding, I asked the groom how he met one of his groomsmen and he said Reddit. Everybody in the room cringed and they immediately said they got along because they were the only normal guys at the meet up.

Eggchasers says it best: Respect the game that has given you everything in your life professionally.

Rugby fans and moaning about the ref is getting tiresome.

So you're not a rugby fan? Weird place to find yourself right now, mate.

I'm an American rugby fan. We are like beautiful women in Wales: rare.

We are breaking balls. It's not that serious.

 

[Rinkadink]

Note to self; American rugby fans are not rugby fans. Allegedly.

 

[Becca]

Oh dear, bit of a shame for Saints.
Losing those two so early on was a hiccup and I do have to agree that the ref wasn't at his best today.
Best team won.

 

[Stade Rochelais]

The best team won, congratulations to Union Bordeaux Bègles, the trophy stays in France.
On the other hand, Northampton tried to copy Leinster's team style of play, they made a serious mistake that cost them dearly, and in the end, they were far too undisciplined on the pitch.
The Bordeaux players were very effective.

Of course. I've never been to wales.

Although I've heard good things about Cardiff. Just tough to get to without direct flights into the country from here.

There are loads of direct flights in and out of Cardiff airport according to Cardiff airport, direct through Amsterdam airport hahahah

It may not be that serious but it is just kinda tedious

Henry Pollock: Bordeaux players ‘out of order’ in post-match Champions Cup fracas - Dowson

Northampton director of rugby Phil Dowson accuses Bordeaux’s players of being “out of order” after Henry Pollock appeared to be grabbed around the neck after the final whistle of Saints’ Champions Cup final defeat.

"I am surprised if you have just won a European Cup, the first thing you want to do is start a fight with a 20-year-old. I felt that was interesting. He will be alright."

The Northampton Saints players should be ashamed of their unsportsmanlike behavior. Besides, in recent years, the English and Irish have become very arrogant and often bite the dust against French clubs: Leinster, Northampton, Saracens, Munster, and Ulster have all received a slap in the face.
You've tasted the Stade Toulousain sauce, you've tasted the Stade Rochelais sauce, and now you're tasting the Bordelaise sauce—it's good, isn't it?
