Why is everyone pretending to be interested in Rugby all of a sudden?

Question

I find it quite pathetic, actually.

Last time they won, no one (besides the genuine fans) even knew it was happening (or cared) - but when they did suddenly everyone was blabbing on about "our boys" and "heroes" with tears in their eyes.

For those who genuinely care about this game and have always followed it, then I am happy for you and hope they win.

But for the rest of you, stop fecking bandwagoning.

Answer 1

who is interested all of a sudden all i want to see is south africa gubb yous tonight so don't worry after they lose you can have them all back to yourself

Answer 2

For me it's a quustion of someone pulling on on a sports shirt for England or the UK depending on that sport. I'm too old to play now but my sports were rugby and cricket. I still enthuse when we win at badminton, tennis and the like. Don't slag off the patriots matey, there are still a few of us left. Leave the "bandwagoning"  (sic) guys alone. It might mean that a few more kids take up rugby rather than falling over and clutching their leg every time someone brushes against them.

Answer 3

Can we borrow your face as a ball.

Answer 4

What ? No one is interested in Rugby

"ewwww"

See both of me hate it and i have multiple personality syndrome. Jk (sorry if i have offended you, i can be an a** like that sometimes.)

Answer 5

i think it's the same as the tennis-or any sport actually.  there's nothing wrong with getting involved-maybe these people just dont have the opportunity to see it before and then when it's on realise they like it.  lighten up.

Answer 6

Nicely put.

And boy oh boy you are a minger. You must have been in a scrum or two in your day.

Answer 7

come on England. swing low, swing yourrr pantts

how dare you, you minger, I HAVE been a supporter on and off since the last world cup!

Answer 8

whats wrong with wanting a british team to do well.  We all do it when it comes to the olympics and we chear for british sportsmen and women in sports we would never usually watch.  

It sometimes takes a big sporting success to get people interested in a sport, lets hope England Win and then people start watching more rugby on a more frequent basis.

Answer 9

Hey now, I have been around this section for quite a few weeks, so speak for yourself.

Anyway, what is wrong with everyone wanting to get behind their country?

Can't we show some patriotism?
