Rugby Fever

Good luck in the rugby match tonight.
SA may have a point to prove, with many players still trying to make the World Cup squad.
We need you fit and well for the next match with the All Blacks

Regards

League or Union, still beats that ridiculous game of Aerial Ping-Pong Aussie Rules!
Aussie Rules is just a poor mans game of soccer where they can use their hands. 'Kick it to me, kick it to me'.

That will make the sparks fly with Victorians and South Australians

I'll be keeping an eye on the Rugby proceedings

SA may be a dark horse tonight and definitely shouldn't be taken lightly that's for sure.
You see it just about every year in the FA cup where the local pub XI knock out a first division side because they were not taking it seriously and figure all they have to do is show up and win.

I take it that Ken has gone into hiding for a while

Cheers

Couldn't agree more.
Rugby union: a game for ruffians, played by gentlemen.
Rugby league: a game for gentlemen, played by ruffians.
Australian rules:a game for people without the intelligence to play either of the rugby codes.

Mate, how anyone can watch that garbage, is beyond me. A game of 90 minutes with possibly 1, or 2 goals is like watching paint dry.

Beats soccer where its possible to spend a load of money and time to see a scoreless draw!

As for rugby, its all in the tactics... therefore too hard for the soccer masses to follow!

Er... I love all the footy codes...including soccer. I can follow the Union as well as I can enjoy watching the EPL.
