Rugger

[Its been emotional]

How boring has it become 😴
The majority of the time the balls out of play, and when it's in play there's 20 meat heads on top of it

I took the opportunity to go up Aldis to do my weekly shop when it was on.
Nice and quiet up there.

Re: Rugger

I only watch Wales's games out of sense of loyalty rather than anything else. (How embarrassing was that defeat today!). There are so many petty rules, lots of which if scrapped would turn the game into a faster, free-flowing spectacle rather than the boring stop/start debacle that it has become. Unfortunately, as fit as the modern players are today when compared to early times, I doubt if they could play the full 80 minutes without the benefit of the many, many breaks in play that they currently enjoy!

Re: Rugger

I think a lot of you have a highly romanticised boyhood memory from the 70's. There were plenty of shite games back then too

It was brilliant .I am not a rugby fan but love to see Scotland doing well at anything.

If you ever doubt that there is a small minded community in some parts of Wales , the rugby subject is always confirmation it is alive and well for me.......
the vast majority of Welsh people love their international rugby ... not today though..:hehe:

I've no problem at all with Scotland beating England.
In fact I am pleased for the Scottish people who are into their rugby after beating "the old enemy" just as I would be for Welsh rugby loving people had Wales beaten England.

The grand slam is the big one, winning the 6 nations championship you'd be happy with but it's these additional trophies within the tournament that I find quite cringeworthy.

The Calcutta Cup for winning one game, the triple crown only available to four out of six nations for beating all of the home nations.

England or Scotland could finish bottom of the league but go home with a winners trophy!

Re: Rugger

Incidents of domestic violence rocket throughout South Wales in the hours proceeding a Wales egg defeat. They are particularly acute in deprived communities. Terrible violence occurred behind front doors today when innocent partners of shell-shocked eggers bore the brunt of their disappointment and ire.

The battered and bruised were transported by a fleet of ambulances to already overstretched Accident and Emergency departments which resembled wartime field hospitals by 9pm as bloodied victims were stretchered into and filled corridors awaiting treatment.

Yet earlier in the day their assailants were happy and full of hope and expectation as they knocked back copious amounts of pink gin before heading for their favourite pubs. "Come on, Shane!" they cried.

But a few short hours and three pints of Allbright Bitter later their mood had changed to a dark and foreboding one. Soon they hurried home while breaking wind aggressively.

Imagine the terror their menfolk felt as they dreaded their return. Being duffed up in usual circumstances must be bad enough, but feeling a stilettoed heel to the ribs delivered by a screaming banshee wearing a daffodil headdress must be abject.

Most of the victims were dragged out of the back door before being unceremoniously drop kicked over the garden fence.

Re: Rugger

That Lions tour in the summer meant rugby had taken further step in the process of me losing the love I had of the game before it went professional - Wales conceded their third try in the two minutes I watched of their game. However, it was the last few minutes I caught of the Scotland v England game which reminded me why I’m barely interested in the sport any more as all but a few seconds were taken up by a scrum - I watched it because I wanted to see if Scotland could beat them again, but,the World Cup coming up next year really needs more than what the game has become at its top levels if it is to get enough people interested in it for it to truly become a world game.
