Rugby has never been whiter than white, but for some reason people have always seemed to have this notion of holding it in high regard.
Much like the pointless comparisons folk make between football and rugby...two completely different games.

I know. Pisses me off when some smug git talks about ‘rugby values’. Sure there’s some stuff we could learn from them, but as often as not the followers are just rootless twits who’d starve their own grandmother if it meant they got a bigger bonus.

I’ve often thought it’s an inferiority complex thing and they pretend they’re not bothered their egg shaped ball sport isn’t the most popular...
I’ve always found it interesting that anything bad that happens in rugby is quickly buried...or is it becauee it’s barely reported because nobody apart from Roger and Sebastian whilst out shooting cares...
Even league, whilst I’m informed is more exciting, has had some severe problems...
I just wish folk wouldn’t compare the two...

Rugby is a tougher sport than football.Remember playing it at school and always hated it and much preferred playing football . I dont mind watching the rugby world cup though.

I always preferred playing rugby at school. I never had the ball control to play football well, but with rugby I could cheat - handball, fouling. Always used to look for the biggest sodomist on the other side and foul him, sorry ‘tackle’ him as soon when he first had the ball. Great stuff.

You was probably one of the bigger people at school and developed earlier hence able to knock people around when you use to play rugby.I was a late developer.Now I can stand my ground but back then no

Not at all. I was tall but I was always a skinny runt. I’d go easy on the smaller lads unless they’d been cnuts. The one tw@ I remember to this day who was a dirty girl private was the one who used to go to Cleethorpes Rugby Club. One time I got sent off was when I twatted him and rubbed his face in the mud for scratching my eyes deliberately.

I attempted to play at school and it just made zero sense. I couldn’t get my head around it.
Interestingly, I had the misfortune of watching 5 minutes yesterday and it’s as if the live in a different world. A player blatantly tried to whack a bloke in the head, the commentators claimed he didn’t do it intentionally and that’s not what he was doing...because when you go in for a tackle and pull your arm back and flow through on the side of his head is accident...especially after you’ve made the tackle.
It’s weird, I don’t doubt it’s hard to play but the comparisons are futile and it just makes no sense to me...

I’ve not noticed any rugby clubs around here doing food bank collections or other community outreach during the present situation. The Dons Trust however have been out there collecting at supermarkets. Given SW London is a bit of a rugby stronghold that’s poor.
