[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 625461, member: 38640"] I think rugby in New Zealand tends to be less violent because most of the munters who are affiliated with 'gangs' and enjoy holliganism...play and watch rugby league. The Warriors have by far and away the most annoying and aggressive sports fans in New Zealand. Not everyone is obviously - lots of great Warriors fans - but you do tend to find that there is a rougher crowd that enjoys the nature of league than union (within New Zealand). Soccer fans here tend to be middle class dudes or imagrants, but they're not really all that roudy or salient - just usually pretty fickle. There is no real association of rugby as an 'English' sport in New Zealand. Many I think in New Zealand, feel its just as much ours as anyones because the important parts its played in our culture and national identity as well as our historical success. I guess it's probably similar to how India would percieve of cricket. [/QUOTE]
