I clicked.  It was some kind of male cheerleading competition or something.

[Vulcan]

Yeah thats what the South Africans said too

Great display of being on the same team but really no comparison though. American Football and Rugby are different even though that is where American Football came from. I heard a radio interview the other day on the local sports talk show where the head coach at University of Utah said his backup tight end left the team to go play professional rugby. The kid was a really good football player but supposedly is a better rugby player so he took the money and ran with it.

I have played Rugby in the past with a local club and it was some of the most fun I ever had. You have to remember though that most men in the south have played football at one point or another and basically rugby here is a combination of the two sports because we can't get it out of our heads to use the forward pass.

I thought it was a line dance

Its all what you were brought up on. Im sure if Rugby was our sport we'd think it was the best too. Im also sure alot of the NFL guys would fare just fine playing rugby.  But if I had a choice to make tons of money, and wear padding and helmets vs not..Id pick the NFL.

doh 15 yard penalty for making the throat slash.  

Both sports are fun, did I miss the memo where you can only enjoy 1 sport?

All due respect, Vulcan, I think our Junior Football team (Links from yesterdays 27-6 blow out) can beat your adult Rugby team.

LOL, that was pretty cool. They gonna look kinda silly when they lose their first game though.
"God is good, God is great" kind of a little overboard for a sporting match, lol.

Won't see that kind of thing from the NFL.

[Eagler]

hmm, thought it was a racist remark about the NFL

Sounds like the second and third lines he's barking out. First line couldn't make out.
