[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 510928, member: 38640"] In New Zealand Field Hockey is both a men and womens sport. It's fairly popular here with NZ mens rated 7th and Womens rated 6th in the world. I know it's big in Australia as well. Netball on the other hand is primarily for females. There are mens leagues but from what little I know of them they're more social teams (for example a company may have a mixed male and female team). Overall it's probably the most popular females sport in New Zealand and also in my opinion the most tedious, as teachers would usually make kids in primary school (or maybe it's just my school) play netball over playing soccer, rugby or basketball, as the no contact makes it hard for things to go wrong and boys and girls can play. Seriously?!?! I was always more of a mid-bus man myself, close enough towards the second door that I could leave early but far enough away from the front that I didn't have to hear people complain about always getting bus sick. Had I known what kind of crazy orgies were going on at the back of the bus... Adds a whole new terrible dimension to the Rosa Parks incident (joking!) [/QUOTE]
