Being in a pub surrounded by people who have never put a pair of rugby boots on and they keep shouting he's offside
So what if you Don't like rugby I my self want wales to succeed in everything. And what a load of bullshit rugby fans worse than football I've seen ***** on both sides
Egg fans are worse due to getting away with it, the old excuse of "hijinks".
8k fans for panama and apparently welsh rugby is hemorrhaging support hahahaaaaaa
sad I've got to laugh at the football but people on this forum just turn me off
If the eggers played the equivalent at rugby, say an Austria, they'd get less than 8k...
Wales play minnows Georgia in Cardiff next Saturday and up to a month ago they had sold over 40,000 tickets
Georgia are 12th in the world rankings, above Italy. One of the sides just outside the "elite". Shows the eggers disappear in droves when its not quality opposition.
Yes. Jonny Owen summed it up saying that it is an "event" and you and he are correct.
The six (5) nations is an institution which many countries worldwide are envious of.
It has its place in the sporting calendar and long may it continue.
People just need to get some perspective.
By the way apart from the off few clubs, club rugby is shite. RU has not coped well with going professional.
Wales played well , some exciting youngsters coming through
Kurtley Beale is a world class player who can play anywhere in the backs and hooper is quality
As for the Aussie scrum half ? Best number 9 in the world
Yes they only sold 65 thousand for a friendly,I wonder how many theWales FA will sell for their friendly against Panama 15 thousand if they're lucky?
In rugby Wales are a relatively big fish in a very small pond so have been fairly successful through our entire history.
In football we have punched above our weight recently in being in and around the top ten in the world but, 1958 and 2016 aside, we have been constantly starved of success. No wonder we don’t pull consistently big crowds.
If the situations were reversed, ie the football team playing in and regularly winning a European 6 Nations tournament every year, playing a series of home games against top world sides every autumn, playing in every World Cup without having to qualify, local media saturation, and a general culture of going on an all dayer for the rugby, then I’m sure things would be very different.
Lets face it. A Wales Rugby International is and always has been an excuse for a p!ss up.
In fact, let's do a true comparison.
Australia - 3rd in egg chasing rankings. Football, that would be a game against Portugal.
Panama in football are ranked 49th. In egg chasing, that's the MIGHTY Guyana.
I bet you'll now claim the eggers would get more than 15k playing the MIGHTY Guyana, having stated they'd play youngsters. Quite frankly, a second team wouldn't be needed to stuff Guyana, sixth/seventh would do...
True, but for a lot of city fans the same applies, I don't think I've seen a city game sober in the last 43 years. It's all part of the day out, meeting your mates in the pub in the morning, having a good swig, off to the match and back to the pub after, I fecking love it. Take that part away from the matchday experience and it's not half the fun.
A mate had a spare ticket and dragged me to an egg game a few years ago.
Got bloody covered in spilt alcohol due to muppets popping off to bar every few minutes one guy went and came back with beer 6 times! it does make you wonder what was the point of even getting a ticket, he could have stayed home and got bladdered for less - not like he was watching the game.
