  1. Rugby - Football is for ponces.


  2. Rugby is first & football second.

    Even if I get a ticket to a CL final ticket, I would miss it and watch France play Rugby in my own tv.

  3. JonathonOneil9.......  Football is a gents game played by Thugs?

    How the h**l do you work that one out?

    Try, its a Girls game played by fairies.  Come on man, How  you can call any footie player a thug, is beyond me.

    Unless there hair is right they wont go on the field and if they get called a name they start crying.

    Rugby is a game for men played by men,  who take 90 minutes of constant pain and still want more.

  4. 1)Rugby Union 2)Rugby league 3) Football(soccer)

    When I was young football was a contact sport.You only have to touch a player now and you're penalised.Do it twice..yellow card..three times..off.Many cheaters dive to gain an unfair advantage.This is a new phenomenon it didn't happen a few years back.Rugby is a real contact sport with skill too.

    Football (premiership) are vastly overpaid prima donnas.

    £100,000 A WEEK. There is something wrong with a society that pays people more in a WEEK to kick a ball about than a doctor gets in a year, or a teacher in three years,or a nurse in five years.

  5. Rugby...i think football players are real good actors when someone tackles them....you should c their face's. Talk aboutexaggeration!!!!! No offence to all the football fan's but maybe if i was brought up watching and playing football i would love the game but fate's hand dealt the rugby card for me.

  6. Love both equally - Manchester United and Northampton Saints - but if it's been a rugby intensive weekend then its hard to watch football - waiting for something interesting to happen

  7. If by football you mean soccer (I'm American)  you gotta be kidding.  I hate soccer.  I do not doubt the skill level required or the athleticism of the players or anything of that nature, but it is simply not physical enough.  To me it is in the same category as golf or pool as a sport.   It's cool I guess, but I am not all that impressed.

    Now rugby what a sport.  Kicking, runnining, tackling, getting tackled, fighting, scoring,  etc.  everybody does all kinds of things with both their hands and feet.  Plus you gotta be pretty tough and pretty fast.   Thats a man's game.

    Now football as American Football - I like that too but not as much as rugby.  there are a lot of the same aspects that there are in rugby (since football came from rugby)  but each position is specific and players only know what pertains to their position.  

    Rugby wins - no question

  8. rugby came from football, because a kid didn't have the skill to kick a ball so he picked it up a ran with it. (thats true)

    Football is the greatest game.

    if you have a ball you can have a game everywhere. coats on a carpark, game on

    Rugby - well if you want to play it anywhere but a rugby field you have to change the rules or start playing a touch version of american football

    Its true rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen and football a gentlemans game played by thugs, football could learn a few things from the respect rugby players show to refs etc. but the simplicity of football makes it stand out above any other sport

  13. FOOTBALL!! OMG!! Egg chasing (rugby) is naff! I mean you cant even throw the bloody ball forward!!

  14. Rugby, tthe one true SPORT.

  15. Rugby, of course

  16. Rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen

    Football is a gentlemans game played by thugs

    RUGBY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!

  17. The saying goes:

    Cricket is a game for gentlemen played by gentlemen

    Rugby is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans

    Football is a game for hooligans played by hooligans

    That aside, Rugby is a complete contact sport of hugely physical proportions, often players are seen coming off the park to receive medical attention (including stitches) before re-entering the game, that’s why we have blood replacements, and despite this players can leave the physical aspect of the game on the field, a footballer receiving even a minor injury is out of action for weeks, and squirming in a bout of charades where no injury exists. The game is as about gaining ground, position and tactical advantage as it is about scoring tries and goals.

    Rugby is a gladiatorial contest to which, for sportsmanship, guts and sheer determination football cannot compare.

    However Football does serve a noble cause….. It keeps the bad elements of society away from Gods game.

    .......... Why are there so many football supporters answering questions in the Rugby section? are you the ones making silly predictions about the outcome of the 6 nations and the World Cup?

  18. I prefer rugby it's a far better game that requires players to use their brains as well as their physical fitness

  19. Rugby, football is for poofs

  20. Rugby is the supreme sport-though Gaelic foot ball and Aussie Rules are close

    Peter H is talking claptrap as Rugby goes back to the 11th. century with the inter village games still commemorated today

    The reason for popularity in schools was that you could get 30 on a field as opposed to 22

    Also every body had a role to play:heavy or light,tall or small,ball skills or not

    If you have a chance,watch Super 14,this is a different world!!

  21. football

  22. Rugby!!!!

    Football is a g*y game played by over paid Neanderthals who eat jelly and ice cream for lunch.

    Rugby is a game where you can have a fight on the pitch then have a drink with your opposite number discussing how rubbish your punch was. In football the violence from the pitch will continue until the very next season.
