As a Gloucester lass, I have to totally agree. Many a teenage hour was spent watching rugby matches - well, the bums and legs of certain local players - couldn't give a stuff about what was happening on the pitch other than that!  |

"Can't see the warriors losing over two legs
But as a Leeds fan I'll be hoping the pirates win although in hope rather than expectation"
I just think it's quite poetic that its come down to warriors last game to send them down or not given that they sent us down last year
Not that I'm bitter you understand |

Was at that match and have to say the warriors fans were great - cheered their team on and applauded at the end despite relegation
Oh... and the supporters mixed together with no fuss - can't see that happening at a footie match!!

Me to
We says support our guys win it lose. We played bath at kingsholm one year in some final and lost but by the cheering for the warriors you would have thought we'd won
So I hear Neil back has resigned with immediate effect |

"I was told that the only proper Rugby is Union, where do I collect my tin hat? 100% correct  "
Okay feel I have to defend rugby league - a quicker game with better handling skills
But I'd rather watch any game of rugby of either code than football - 11 overpaid egos kicking a ball

That's rugby league. Rugby union involves rucks mauls & lineouts

"footy best game on earth don't agree with wages but if your boss offered you that sort of money would you say no ? "
I'm not that bothered about how much they get paid. Like you say, their agents/managers sort all that out.
What I don't like is all the trouble you hear about at games etc from so called fans of the game!!
I do occasionally watch the odd football game and can appreciate some of the skill demonstrated but I do prefer my rugger |

Rugby Union for me, but will even watch League over football.
A Sale fan for my sins and really feel for Leeds, I have a horrible suspicion we'll be in their shoes at this point next season.
Strangely enough, there are actually more Rugby Union clubs in the whole of the North of England than there are Rugby League clubs, and there are a lot more players as well. League has the problem that it seems to find it difficult to 'spread' the game away from its traditional powerbase.
Top-Flight Union in the North is struggling though, the three Premiership clubs in the North were all in the relegation mix at the end of the season
Still, at least we can be trusted to drink in the stadium and mix with the oppo fans (which is one of the best bits), still have vague memories of a very long afternoon spent with the wonderful fans of Newport-Gwent Dragons, and a VERY loud evening with the amazing fans from Munster!

Having heard the news today about FIFA, we should have added that the management of association football from world level down to club level seems pretty corrupt, unlike rugger management.
And if they're not corrupt, they're arrogant and bad-tempered, like Ferguson! |

That's only because the amount of money flowing through football is so obscene, throw that sort of money at rugby and i'm sure we'd see corruption on a horrible scale - it's human nature i'm afraid!
Strange isn't it? Rugby players take one hell of a battering over the season, careers can be ended in a heartbeat etc. Yet the average salary for a Premiership Rugby Union player ranges from around £50'000 - £350'000 per year.
Bit different from the footballers rolling around on the floor for £100'000 a month.... |
