Dear Lickety splits.
Here are a few blaggers guides to Rugby Union (15 per side):
Rugby is a game played by men with one odd shaped Ball.
Please 'respect the kicker'
What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.
Enjoy the game. |

I will be layered up. I'm not completely daft. I didn't start the thread with clothes in mind. Although I will have the cashmere wrap with me.

Strip off in the bar while singing 'Singing in the Rain' when naked pour a pint of lager over you.
At least that's what a Rugby team I know do.. should work a treat |

Is the kicker the only one to use his foot?

Lickety my lovely, you will have a whale of a time. Wrap up warm and not in anything too nice and new as beer is always involved in large quantities.
Make sure you know what colour shirt your 'team' are playing in and go with the flow when people start cheering.
Shout Ohhhh Reffffff in a disgusted voice now and again. as that's expected and don't forget to eye up all those legs in them tight short. |

Try is when they score, conversion is when they kick a goal, line out and scrums, also grubber kick but union players tend not to use these as they are not that skillful |

"When they score a goal it's called a touchdown

Sorry - no don't say that (It's a 'try').
If you make lots of comments about boys rolling about together in the mud you'll get some appreciative nods from boys in the know. |

Going to a Rugby match, visiting the Giant's Causeway and getting over to Ireland were on my to do list for 2014 and I am doing them all next weekend. I am challenging myself this year.

"Its called a try not a touchdown.
See, now this is the sort of faux pas I am trying to avoid.
"
Here let me help
15 aside and a lot of subs used for injuries or when starting team are knackered
5 points for a try (getting the ball on the ground behind opposition goal line)
2 points for a conversion ( a goal kick scored after a try has been scored)
3 points for a penalty kick that is scored for breaking the rules.
Ball must always go backwards unless it is kicked otherwise a scrum is awarded.
A scrum is a love in with 8 guys on each side (the forwards) having a massive group hug and try to push the opposition backwards.
A line out is the same eight guys from each team trying to jump and catch or knock the ball back to their other players (the backs). This happens when the ball goes out of play on the sidelines known as touchlines....
That's a starter for ten |

What's a penalty?"
A kick at goal if the ref awards a penalty.
Conversion is a kick at goal after a try |

If one side do something naughty and their opposing team are given a kick at goal.
It starts with a scrum, which is supported by the big lumps called props. The ball is chucked in and each side try to get it out of the scrum to their players. "Collapsing the scrum" is an offence.
Once a team has possession of the ball they aim to get it down the field pass the line the goal stands on and place it on the ground. Successfully doing so is called a try and gives the scoring team the chance to try for a conversion by kicking at the goal.
When a player has the ball the opposing team will tackle him for it. Players aim to pass the ball before they are tackled and lose it. They are only allowed to pass the ball to a team mate behind them, not ahead of them.
If the ball goes off the field, it's chucked back on at the point it went off and the teams line up and try to catch it - called a line out. |

You'll need to learn the words to "oggy oggy oggy" and if you're having sex with a rugby player, you'll be known as a "rugger bugger".
Flashing of tits in the bar is compulsory, as is having your bum pinched.
That is all. |

I think yours is a bit more technically informative to be fair.
I love rugby but I often struggle to follow it as I'm distracted by the thighs and the big muscly men covered in mud. |

There can also be a Jonny Wilkinson Winner
A drop goal (the art of kicking the ball through the uprights in open play) which secures 3 points.
I played 14 for my team, I was deemed too fast a runner for the scrum |

Does everyone have sex with the players when they go to see a match? The game is getting a little more interesting.

Wrap up warm and be prepared for beers, food, singing and laughter.
Tell them upfront that you are a newcomer to Rugby. They will be fighting to be your teacher.

^ this
The atmosphere and the mentality of the fans is nothing like at a football match. "
I haven't been to a football match in 30 years so that won't be hard to beat.

I suspect the comment about Touchdowns was a wind-up.
I wouldn't worry about knowing anything about the game. People will be ok with that. Besides, at big international games these days, most of the crowd don't have much of a clue what's going on - they're more interested in getting in their pink cowboy hat clad mugs on the big screen, downing beers etc. A Heineken Cup game will be better for that. Ulster fans can be pretty "one-eyed" mind!
Things ain't what they used to be blah, blah, blah |

I'd rather have a cocktail than Guinness but I like cider so I might partake as I won't be driving.

One eyed? As I am going to be in Belfast I assume I am obliged to support Ulster for this game.

"That rugby league is a lot better than rugby union, rugby union has 15 men rugby league only 13
What am I seeing, league or union?
Rugby union
That's two more men for me to look at. How is that not better?"

Game you are going to see is Rugby Union.
Played with 15 men per team
Respect the kicker and don't talk while he's taking hi sweet ass time to kick the ball
It is a proper man's sport and not full of overpaid ponces like in football
And most importantly remember that Leicester Tigers are the best no matter what any other bugger says! |

You don't have to support them, but the majority of the crowd will be. You might get a little banter if you support Montpelier, but it should be good natured. There are pockets of pain in the arse supporters with some teams though - including mine (The Pontypandy Fisters).
Seriously - don't worry about the rules. There's many areas of them that people who've watched the game for years won't know properly. I worked out I've watched Wales about 80 times over the years (and hundreds of other games) - I'm still mystified and not well up on some of them.
I post on a rugby site and there's endless debate about many decisions during televised games - and this from really knowledgable fans. Even some commentators get things wrong.
A classic example is the forward pass. In the recent Wales v Australia there were howls from the crowd that an Oz should have been disallowed as the last pass to the guy scoring was forward. Commentators mentioned it too. Everyone in my pub was up in arms. All were wrong - for very technical reasons in the rules involving the physics of throwing a ball to a teammate while running at speed (momentum can cause a ball passed backwards to drift forward etc etc etc).
It doesn't matter if you don't understand the finer points therefore - get a basic understanding of a few key things and it'll be enjoyable and you'll be on a level with 99% of the people there.

Most of the people who play and watch have no idea what the rules are. So wrap up warm, drink plenty, admire the nice men in shorts and cheer whenever those standing near you cheer. Job done! Have fun |

You don't need to know anything about the sport just like most of the people there ..............its all about class , status and business in rugby union..........
Most have never thrown a rugby ball in their lives ...............
It's all about the "I was there" prawn sandwich brigade you'll be lucky to see anyone under 30 years old.  |

I guess it depends how much you feel the cold. I feel it terribly and it can get quite cold in the stands. |

Go when they have finished building it - I have ruined a pair of boots with the mud/concrete mix I walked through.

"Did you have a good night in belfadt lickety x"
I did, thank you. I sat in a bar listening to live music and drinking until after 1am.
My plan to go out to the Giant's Causeway has been cut short so I am heading back into Belfast on the train and will just pootle around there before deciding what to do this evening.
I will have to return another time to finish my to do list.

"Bars def good in belfadt for good night"
I am quite shocked at the amount of alcohol I managed to drink this weekend.
I managed to find cocktails, cake and live music. I sampled stew and Wheaten, dipped my finger in some Guinness and experienced the strange thing of being given a free £5 matched bet in a pub. I lost my fiver by betting on a horse called Funky Munky.

I left before lunch but I had a really great meal last night. I have to recommend The Malt on Great Victoria Street to everyone. The food was fantastic, the service great and the bill relatively small.
