Yeah cos England football team are a great side aren't they? If you want to watch a team guaranteed to lose watch England football team play anyone, anywhere in the world. However as history has proven watch England Rugby squad play and you will get a great match and also have a good chance of winning.


Go away and look at the competitive respective results of the two teams over the last 2 years, then tell us if you're actually right. [clue; you're not]

excellent....perhaps you people can tell all those twats in the pubs who know nothing whatsoever about rugby, to all f*** off home and watch match of the day or Sky match first or whatever its called and leave supporting an England Team you can truly be proud of to those who appreciate the game ( with all its flaws)

You've not even been into rugby for 2 years Dave!

I see what you did there.:bigwave:

Yes i can say I actively started going to rugby matches in the last couple of years( its also because the wife hates football and its something we both enjoy so go together)

The varsity match is something I have been to many times, but only got into it a couple of years ago, when it was good open game..its normally a bore and most people are hammered anyway.

I used to play at school and never really understood the intracacies(sp) of the game as we always played it when it rained, and we were mostly wet, pissed off and cold.

Us rugby lovers (*) are taking over. Just as it should be.

(* - obviously as a rugby lover I've never actually been to a game of rugby. I did however enjoy getting pissed up around Twickenham during the 5 Nations (as it was then) during my Uni years as it was just a short journey from Kingston. The atmosphere in the pubs was fantastic. I did also get VERY excited following the last World Cup and, living in rugby country, was determined to get to a game or three and witness this non-segregated beer-drinking sport, if only for comparisons to my many footballing experiences. Obviously I've not actually done that but I have made the same promise to myself during this World Cup. And I will, I hope, get very excited about the game tomorrow night too.)

My utter indifference to the game is tempered by a feeling that it would be nice to see us win something. This is in contrast to my abject indifference to what happens in the F1.

Albion apart, my sporting interest this weekend lies solely with watching Flavia on Strictly Come Dancing.

thankyou.

Yeah and when we're at Falmer only those that turned up at Gillingham should be allowed in!

Face facts, if all those people pissed off, who would be left?
