I think people in Wales speak English better than this.
I agree taht people from Wales speak better, but no matter football pwns rugby. Rugby players would only be able to dream of that talent :D LMAO
Well, we would like to put you in your place, but you are probably holed up like your fake fighter Joe Calzaghe. Maybe one of us Americans can hold his hand to fight the German Kessler - brings back some memories huh? Besides, Wales isn't even a country! It is a tiny piece of a tiny country. It is the equivalent of being a suburb of Davenport, Iowa. Bettendorf maybe? Moo- Let me explain something to you. What goes on in America is 3 times more important than what goes on in the rest of the world put together.
Testimony to your point is the global popularity of Rugby. American Gridiron, well it's American. A game that nobody cares about outside of America. It's players are nobodies outside their own country. Rugby and football have World Cups. Gridiron has nothing. Outside of America, it's nothing. Rugby, the game they play in heaven
I live in a far away place called Wisconsin (LOL) From what I have seen of English Rugby, is that NFL Players don't know the definition of "PAIN" and what's up with all that PADDING??? :-| well,,rugby players are at least in decent shape, not like NFL players who are edging 350 LBS!!....and have nicknames such as Refrigerator ......cause they actually weigh MORE then one!!!! if my opponent was 350+Pounds, I would want a lot of padding too :-) (see Gilbert Brown and Refrigerator Perry) I watch rugby (any team) to relieve stress, I tell you, there's nothing like watching a player getting his head kicked (into next week) and pretending it's YOU kicking your bosses head! :-) hehe..... I once saw a European NFL League game on TV and I thought it was a joke!
how come when i go to the rugby forum there are only 2 pages?i rest my case.this is america.....dont hate....appreciate.we really dont care if the rest of the world isnt playing.the rest of the world dosent have our speed and power,and would be no competition at all.
Yawn...yet another Welsh idiot. And if you honestly think that Wales are going to win the World Cup, I'm Father fecking Christmas!!!!!!!!!!! What is it with these twats who have got nothing better to do than to s***-stir and cause trouble?
because we are teased that we wear pads
The Settlers are offensive. As they march West, they carefully mark off land they’ve gained on a grid, one yard at time. Their goal is to kick a pig’s skin between two palm trees in California. The Natives are defensive. The strongest among them line up to push the settler’s tail back and deny them any receiving. The Government steps in. They’re the Referees. They get in the way, slow the pace and influence the decision. As the battle rages on, it becomes clear that the offensive always win. “Not so!” some will say, but it is true. It is true because the moment a brave snatches away the pig’s skin, he himself becomes offensive. He looks for slower warriors to block the angry mob whose pig he has plundered, and, as he runs down the field, he dreams about the goal and kicking balls. Football is America.
I hear the All-Blacks coming... Ka Mate Ka Mate Ka Ora Ka Ora Ka Mate Ka Mate Ka Ora Ka Ora Tenei Te Tangata Pu’ru Huru Na’a Nei Tiki Mai Whaka Whiti Te Ra! Upane! Ka Upane! A Upane! Ka Upane! Whiti Te Ra! Hi!
why do you think it crap ? Just because you do nto follow a sport, or understand it is no reason to denigrate it... BTW, All Blacks are coming, I can hear the distant echoes of the Haka even now, they will eat your national team for breakfast... You Welshies will soil yourselves when they chant the Haka prior to the beginning of the match... http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/4/4d/ABHakaWales.jpg the player on the right is expressing his opinion of the Welsh team...
Believe every word TD Euwait has written, as it just became law.Touch down!!!!!!!
Maybe in Wales it's crap. But in the United States it is THE sport. You stay in Wales and enjoy your Rugby, we will stay here and enjoy our football. If you don't try to force Rugby on us, we won't force football on you.
Rugby? I live in a country called the United States in North America, and I was just wondering, why Rugby is so crap compared to American Football?
Of course people outside the US will like rugby better.. you haven't been exposed to the real sport of football. It's fast paced and so hard hitting that they have to wear pads, otherwise someone could get killed on the field. THAT is a real sport... the fear of death.
It is crap because you don't understand it. That's like me saying Rugby is a bunch of disorganized violence with a point system. Now I don't understand the game but you have to admit to someone who has never seen it it could look like that. Either that or you just need a life and you are coming here to try to agitate. Oh and to the one who mentioned about the NFL Europe, yeah well Americans thought that was a joke as well. So please don't compare our product(College and NFL American Football) to the NFL Europe.
Don't be posting hate questions about other sports. Besides, unlike Wales, we have lots of mixed cultures playing football. Also, our players look 100 times better than Rugby players with there uniforms on! Don't hate the most powerful country in the world.
Let me ask YOU a question: Where did the term "welch on a bet" derive from? Is it because the Welsh only pretend to put their money where their mouths are? All of that sound and fury and nothing to back it up with? No credibility? I think your piece of crap country even has a dog named after it too. Probably one of those all bark no bite yip-yips.
God am i glad my ancestors defected from there. I am so glad i was born and raised an American. If I had to watch rugby and soccer i would shoot my own face off. I don't even like the fact I speak English. We should change it to the American language so that soccer and rugby are omitted.What the hell are crumpets anyway?
that is why you live there. never could get to a real country
You IDIOT You DIMWIT can't you tell you are comparing an apple to an Orange
AMERICAN FOOTBALL OWNS A BUCNH A GUYS IN SHORT SHORTS.
comparing "slugby" er ah, rugby to American Football is an insult to Americans and is a serious contender for ESPN's 3 am time slot.
Any kid in the world can play rugby or soccer...that's why the third world country's love it...get a bunch of rags...tie 'em together and run with it...you can become great at it.....football requires strategy every second ...as compared to soccer where you can wait at the goal with no action....that's why your sport sucks....You are trying to convince the Americans that it is 11 one on one matchs....BS....Boring Boring Boring...NFL Europe was our worst talent available, that is why we send them to you guys..or you Wankers....everything I just commented on goes for Rugby and Soccer alike....wait ...I think a player just fell down and is hurt.....no...he took a dive so his team could rest...
yea arent you on a little island next to faggot ass England? and until youre leagues are big enough to play a game over here [since we ARE plaing a game in London] so until youre league gets a game overseas cuz its so popular id shut up considering its obviously more popular! fuck you!
Rugby is a sport that I have NO idea why you call it a sport. It's almost like people who aren't good enough to play football or soccer got together and made up the damn game! NFL Rules!!
