Spot on! I wasn't sure how it would really feel to stand side by side with my arch rivals fans until I went to Gloucester away last season, it was class, a few beers, some banter and our biggest away win against them in years. I took my 4 year old to his first match on Sunday, also against Gloucester and he had a great time, but I wouldn't even consider taking him to a north east derby yet.Some of the more parochial bells on here may find it odd but I reckon it's class being able to have a drink in the stands with supporters of the team you're playing against. Going to the Rugby is really good fun and it's an altogether better sport than football.
Prime time, they'll rate really well.England's games are 8pm Saturday. Probably get less viewers than Channel 5.
I would argue that there's all kinds of aspects of forward play that require skill as well. I imagine Herbal would get the shock of his life if he found himself on the receiving end of a well-executed choke tackle or got rucked or driving mauled into oblivion
Ah but how much are you putting yourself down here? I once organised a 5 a side team at uni and I witnessed two of the kids who turned up swing at and miss at a stationary ball at their feet. I was like "sorry lads". Coming from a world where pretty much every kid could play footy to some degree, I'd never seen such ineptitude.I did the same in fitba you Norbert.
Rugby is a game for men who are too big and clumsy to master the finer art of association football.

I don't understand the question DaveHaha I have no doubt that things would be very different at any higher level. I packed in rugby to play American football and I was knocking grow men on their arse when I was 15, but I never fancied the rough and tumble of rucks and scrums. I think I saw people treading on their own players to drive forward once and thought, nah that's not for me.

Aye, but that doesn't alter the fact that you could win a game simply by giving the ball to the biggest person and letting him run with it, Forrest Gump style. You could have no footy skills at the same age but it wouldn't win you a game.Weren't you a bairn, so everyone was at different levels of development?
That's horsehite that mind. I'm 5' 10", play outside centre or full back.Aye, but that doesn't alter the fact that you could win a game simply by giving the ball to the biggest person and letting him run with it, Forrest Gump style. You could have no footy skills at the same age but it wouldn't win you a game.

Why not, smart move ...money wiseI saw the Ireland team at my hotel in Dublin today all their kit was being packed into a white transit to come over in ferry - I assume to avoid the baggage charges of RyanAir
What position do you play fella?Sport for dullards
Rugby is a much better day out on the lash than footy.
Plenty of corporate freebies being offered about.

Better sport than football? I think you are on the wrong site.
