Rugby is brute force - yep, end of story or is it....

Zinzan's 40 metre drop kick against Sth Africa. John Kirwins length of field run zig zagging past the entire Italian rugby team. Don Clarke's boot. Christian Cullen's 'houdini' from inside the goal line past 3 Fijians in the 7's final. Carlos Spencer's slight of hand. Michael Jones' dive over 2 Aussies to secure a ball in md air then off load to JK and who can forget Andy Hadens lineout 'dive' against the Welsh , yep Rugby has it's hollywoods but in all my years that is the only one I have ever seen. Watch any pro football/soccer game and they have at least one a game.

I agree there is a lot of skill in soccer, but that is only with the foot. Rugby requires skill with the boot and hands.

Although league is my sport of choice I know I will end up watching the semi's and the final's of this years World Cup - sport is sport.

My pick - Netherlands.
Great points Sam.

I hope Netherlands wins too, if only cos my missus is half Dutchie.

As for soccer being a so called supier sport because of its bigger audience - the analogy could be made that a heck of a lot more beer is drunk than Chateau Mouton Rothschild, but that doesn't make it a better drink.

458557 2006-05-31 01:38:00 I don’t hate soccer . I hate soccer fans…I don’t like the soccer fan, because he has a strange defect; he cannot understand why you are not a fan yourself, and he insists on talking to you as if you were…It isn’t that he doesn’t care a fig that I don’t care a fig . It’s that he can’t conceive that anyone could exist and not care a fig . He wouldn’t understand it even if I had three eyes and a pair of antennae emerging from the green scales of my nape . He has no notion of the diversity, the variety the incomparability of the various possible worlds .

458561 2006-06-02 11:02:00 I expect the whole tournament will have no swinging handbags, as long as the rugby fraternity stay away. Twelvevolts (5457)
