@supertask 'I actually played rugby at uni for about 6 months. All of the lads were absolute pricks. I preferred to be part of a well run team like the football team. Fitness for rugby was about bulk' - I don't know where u played, but I played at 2 different uni teams and still play amature level: rugby fitness is high intensity work capacity, power and power indurance. Bulk without speed is worthless in rugby. People who don't share a love for the game are not wanted in a squad.....

@IthothothoI obviously you haven't heard about hookers and props in rugby that get paralysed....a broken leg, healed in months.....broken vertabrae, attached to tubes and diapers for the rest of your life. Hardly a comparison as my mate died in a collapsed scrum. I follow football as well but you can't really say there are worse injuries in football as i know first hand that's not true.

@bandiboi100 You should go to a Wales game if you want passion. Plenty of singing and general merriment for everyone to enjoy.

@markovull How dare you!! The front rowers are the real skilled players. Nah I'm just kidding. We props are only there to look good.

V WTF you try to play a full game of rugby after tackling and running for 80 minutes non-stop and say its easy and go to a munster game there fan are great or watch england vs new zealand where the whole crowed starts singing... perfect examples of rugby emotion

[bandiboi100]

@THEMrPykelet scotland vs south africa at murrayfield. spent 80 mins freezing my arse off! there was no chanting, no emotion, no passion. at football games you see flares and flags and fans singing their hearts out, none of that at a rugby games .running with the ball in your hands is much eaiser than trying to dribble round players with it at your feet! at least football players would be able to catch the ball and are quick, imagine a rugby player trying to play football.. its laughable!

we know something for sure... they are BAD at acting ;) :P

Two different sports and two different skill sets. Only someone ignorant to one or both of the sports would say that one is better than the other because of this and that, you need a high level of skill in rugby to avoid contact and move your team tactically around the pitch. In football the worst injuries you're looking at is broken lower limbs while rugby is spinal injuries sometimes resulting in death. Do you really want to get into this debate? @lthothothol

[markovull]

In football, superstar showboaters more or less get away without a proper smashing. How do we know that Ronaldo and co. are really world class 'footballers' if they've never taken a hit off two props and lived to tell the tale? Our most skilful players (usually halfbacks, stand-offs, centres or fullbacks) need to have ball skills, speed, agility and creative talents, but they also need to be able to take a big hit from a man twice their size to prove their fully rounded athletes. RL - TGG!!

continued. Stephen Ferris' knee was wnd is in a right state and he is playing his best rugby. dont give me this shit that rugby players' injuries arent as bad as footballers'. In the lead up to the RWC 7 players were seriously injured which forced them to miss the flight. Rugby players' injuries are woree, occur more frequently and they can take it unlike toitbalkers eho just tuking roll, scream and cry

@IthothothoI i agree with u in the most part but the 'legs snapped' in football only happens in the most extreme of cases and very rarely happen. In rugby matches, more bones are broken and like half the players on the pitch have blood gushing from their heads. Look at Richie McCaw, he seriously fuked up his ankle going into the RWC but he played through the psin. Now he's out for at least 9 months and im surprised hes not crippled
