[QUOTE="nick_w, post: 179109"] Its not like the Andrex league in England (soft and unneccesarily expensive) where all they seem to do is ***** and whine at the ref. Its a lot more about respect on and off the field. On the field it is all out carnage, but the difference between rugby and other sports is that you are more likely to sit down and have a pint after the match and have a good chat. The amount of times i've wound up my opposite number and then had a decent conversation with them afterwards is infinite. I'm only talking on an English basis here, but I think we are more passionate about it as well. Football is clearly the dominant sport here, but because it is rammed down our throats almost every day, and because the English football team seems to be in the spotlight a lot more than their rugby counterparts do, it means more when the focus is turned to (what I think is) the better game. Feel free to blast me on this though! [/QUOTE]
