Cycling rugby enthusiasts?

Quoted message said:

before kick-off and said, 'Why are they standing where they're standing?' It went on all match,
and I can't take another 80 minutes like that.

Heh, I've attended a number of Rugby games in a corporate manner recently and have nearly started
rucks in the stand after about the 15th question from certain people that consistently come to games
but never seem to bother working out the rules.

On a more On Topic note, as a "Cycling rugby enthusiast", All cyclists. PLEASE look after your head.
Whether it's a helmet, or not falling off in the first place. I suffered a concussion playing on
Saturday and have to say yesterday was one of the least pleasant days in memory.

Enjoy the walkover (err, game)

The first is that you have actually played the noble game, even if a long time ago. The second is
that you have at least a rudimentary understanding of the laws and how the game is played.

Yup that would be me 🙂

Many years ago, the rugby club "the crowd" I hung out with arranged a charity match of the boys
against the girls.

So we girls got organised - we arranged Sunday morning training sessions at the local pitch - our
coach had played for Gosforth - and of course, we had training videos of international matches to
watch in the bar. ;-) Great fun was had by all and we even swapped shirts at the end of the match 🙂

And yes, I have seen the All-Blacks play - at Gateshead many years ago. A very large Maori gentleman
picked me up and carried me several hundred yards down the main street. I haven't worked out why
(or, indeed, how) but it was all very friendly.

Sadly, on Saturday, and I'm sure you wouldn't want a chronically coughing fat old bird spoiling the
enjoyment of the match and Vernon isn't a rugby buff to take a ticket from you 🙁 Whoever gets those
tickets - enjoy!

Cheers, helen s

Walkover? Listen, Wales are a serious force in world rugby. Look, it's true. No, really.
STOP LAUGHING.

It's a shame that really. I really do support Welsh rugby. Rugby matters to the Welsh, so I think
its only a matter of time until they come back to force. In England rugby seems to be played only be
the upper classes, while the lower classes mindlessly refer to them as closet homosexuals. Except,
of course, when they beat Australia in which case the whole country suddently takes ownership the
team. Never heard of 500 police being called to settle rugby hooligans.....

The Big Baguette said:

List price of the tickets is ?38, and that's what they're on offer for.

What? As in you'll pay someone 38 quid to watch Wales get flattened by England? :-) Don't get me
wrong, I spent 8 years living in Wales and I like rugby[1], and would dearly love to see the
oft-touted renaissance in Welsh rugby, but the Italy match wasn't a game, it was a farce.

two men short ;-)

There was a day when the entire world looked on Welsh rugby in awe and wonder - our time will
come again....

Until it does, any of you lot mention the Italians and you'll get a thick ear, right?

Me too. I like an England win, but not a rout

I supported England through the bad years -- I have no problem doing it now.

times. I wonder, do they still play rubgy in Italy?

That's the reply I was waiting for. :-)

In truth, Marc, I would like all six nations to play at a similar level to make for a close
competition.

Not a problem, I'll stake the Welsh 15 against the England 7s any day.

Quite similar to the Aussie 11+ against the English 22+++ at footie.

No idea, football is game invented, played, and watched by those too stupid to understand the rules
of any other.
