goin to oz in 3 weeks for a 17 day rugby tour. woohoo! stoked. sydney, perth, hong kong. games clinics and we get to watch a coupla super 14 games. can't bring the bike along but i got all summer to ride BC, and AB.
i really like the speed of the aus/nz game myself. but i certainly don't dislike the brits style of play. preferences, opinions. all good.
i also enjoy playing american football. or at least i did. it was fun.

Rugby, Football is for girls who are afraid to take a hit without their pads on! It would be like asking which sport is better; Figure Skating or Hockey? Hockey and Lacrosse are the only other two sports worth a damn any way!
Couldn't of said it any better myself.

new zealand all blacks rock

that is true about engaland i hate to say it, but new zealand are the biggest bunch of cheats with forward pass,off ball sh#t and illegal tackles, they can get away with anything without getting a penalty against them, any other team doesn't. they are supposed to be the best in the world but they are so arrogant that when the world cup comes they get stuffed
You don't know what you're talking about. All blacks have the nasty habit of peaking in between world cups. They are not arrogant at all they play exciting rugby unlike England who play kicking rugby and then relying on their forwards to do the dirty work.I've been playing rugby since I was 5 and at a high level for the past 5 years in secondary and All Blacks and southern hemisphere teams have always been the most exciting and now most recently Argentina. England needs to learn a lesson from these guys and play some proper rugby.

Wales for 6 Nations!

Argentina should be entered into 6 nations too!

Scotland will hump England and I'm gonna be there to see it!

argentina shouldn't be in the 6 nations they are no were near europe, if anything they should be added to the try nations

That's why they'd play their games in Spain. It's an ongoing debate and Spain are coming closer and closer to allowing it.

rugby hands down, theres no point in comparing them. american foorball originated from rugby, but they decided to start throwing the ball forward and wear 3 inches of shoulder padding, not to mention helmets!!

im not sure but here it goes:
they dont have a world cup- they have the superbowl. which i think is when the top teams from the "league", having gone through a series of playoffs, play each other.
