And then they tell you about what a great working class game it is in Limerick.

Not a rugby fan myself but it is very popular in Limerick. Saying that the whole Munster (we're not good enough so we'll combine our teams) lark is having a horrid effect on the game. The clubs are struggling and as a result their underage set-ups are suffering. To say it's working class is a bit misleading though. The only sports they play in the really big sprawling working class estates are football and joyriding with a tiny bit of GAA thrown in for good measure. Rugby is generally followed and played by those who have eked their way to the status of lower-middle class off the back of hard labour in addition to the usual brigade of snob-school tossers.

Cricket, screw the game it's a place to go bushin' if you look at all the fans that follow cricket most of them have a few Dutch Golds in their hands to them it's an excuse to go on the ****, something else the english aren't that good at.

Conor, as for your cheap ill-informed snipes. Rugby is anything but a game only for the rich and ANY look at a game on your TV set at all will prove just how much fitter rugby players are compared to their soccer counterparts.

You've obviously NEVER seen the Munster fans so. If you had you wouldn't have dreamed of saying something so stupid.

Have to agree with Real Ale Madrid, Ireland to beat Les Bleus on Saturday, by about 5-10 points I'd say.

Well football as we know it was started in England AFAIK, but that kinda missed the point.... People are slagging Rugby for being a Brit game, but football was known as the garrison game wasn't it?

Cricket and Rugby, as with baseball and American Football, are good to watch once you know and understand the rules.....

Thanks for giving me a measure of support in my views, Macy.

Ruairi, you just better be fit yourself on Saturday night, never mind your totally inaccurate views on rugby!!:D

At anything approaching a decent level ie Interprovincial, Celtic League, Heineken Cup, International, YES!! Players simply can't afford to carry extra weight. It's much too demanding a game for that.

I couldn't agree more the Americans destroyed Rounders.
There was nothing wrong with Rounders fun easy rules and a good laugh.

Baseball, rounder's illegitimate offspring that should out been keep in a secret place out of harm, just like G W Bush really

Ah yes, I can see it now, Shane Byrne nutmegging Carlos, chipping it to Peter Clohessy who dances around Lizarazu, and sends in a low cross met by the diving header of Frankie Sheahan, who beats Nesta to put the ball past Buffon.

And I'd like to see ANY one of the soccer players listed above go on to a rugby pitch and take just ONE bone-crunching tackle from a top rugby player. Sweet Jesus, the soccer player would never get up off the ground again, and rugby players may have to take 20+ such tackles in a match.

ah lads dont knock basball till you've seen it 1st hand
saw a NY yankees V Boston red sox game
40,000 mad screaming passionate bostonians .. win 8-7 with 9th inning run ( with the kinda cork v kerry, munster football final feel to it, in terms of rivalry / good natured slagging and banter between the fans.. grab yourself a few hotdogs a few coors lite or maybe a soda :D *realises he has been brainwashed* )

again i think like someone else mentioned earlier, once you understand all the rules fully then alot of 'boring' sports are watchable including baseball

Ignoring the sporting merits but isn't watching England lose a good enough reason to watch Cricket?

Apparently Brian O'Driscoll is a bit of a smoker so debatable how fit he really is...

I dare you to go up to Will Greenwood or Brian O'Driscoll and say that.
Conor, Peter Clohessey, albeit a more than capable one, was a relic from the days of amatuerism. That said he was hardly fat/unfit. The trend since professionalism, however, has been towards players becoming increasingly fitter. No way would they last an 80 minute game otherwise.
Oddboy, you are odd and continue to display extreme ignorance on the subject of rugby, I would suggest you stick to talking about something you have a clue of.

Rant finished.:D

Anyway, what did SEJ say about players being so fit because they could tackle? Tackle? I've yet to see fitness defined by a tackle count. I must have missed the Jane Fonda Tackle Yourself Fit Workout video, or perhaps the Elle McPherson Thinner Through Tackling Routine.

Remember Peter Clohessy, he could tackle all day, and you should have seen him tackle a dinner, but still no advertisement for fitness I'm afraid. In fact, until he played in Oz he prided his boozing routine despite playing International and Interprovincial.

Weight and stature isn't necessarily a good indicator of fitness.... You could be a fat bastid and still be fit.... Also there's different types of fitness - aerobic and anaerobic.... A body builder has a high anaerobic fitness level, but more than likely I could out run him....

That's the last I'll say of the Rugby, as I don't want to be tagged as any kindred spirit of SEJ... Basically I'd watch most sports...

Actually I would sit down and watch a full 5 day test match, and used to go to the odd Lancs games, but obv one day matches are better.... Infact cricket is the one sport I don't mind England doing well in....

While I am, and I say this with great pride, entirely ignorant of rugby, you, on the other hand, simply display extreme ignorance.
As for suggesting "that I stick to talking about something I have a clue of", if you were to follow your own advice, all your posts would simply consist of namecalling of other posters....;)

I wonder do the egg chasers eat a lot of eggs. I mean surely if they're chasing an egg they're going to catch it at some stage and presumably they would then eat it. Just pondering as to whether this contributes to their rather large posteriors?:D
