If I wanted to watch 30 fellas shoving their heads up each other's arses, I'd watch a porn channel.

Re: What puts you off watching Rugby on the telly?
I enjoy watching international rugby , not fussed on the club game
I would agree with you on butler but I am still going to watch
Apart from the build up and post match analysis
The press gets on my tits , inside first pages of western mail was not about the death of the assembly member , carwyn Jones or armistice Day , it was a two page waffle on the rugby ff sake

That sounds like a hell of a film mate. Not my cup of tea but, whatever floats your boat I suppose.

If I wanted to watch a game of rugby I’d nip along to my local club and watch from the touch line.
I can relate to that.
Watching an international feels fake.
It’s like watching a band in a small club against watching X factor.

I Like the game and will watch it, but only the game, nothing else, no build up, no post match analysis etc. to keep the aussies within 20 points today will be a decent result. Gatland has achieved good results for Wales but his brand of rugby is now outdated and i think its time for a change, the regions need to change as well, I thought LLanelli had started the trend of open expansive rugby last year but they do not seemed to have kicked on this season.

Plenty of empty seats at the Wales vs Australia game.

Women in the pub shouting "come on Shane come on Shane" with stupid hat's on screeching with a pint in hand.

Re: What puts you off watching Rugby on the telly?

Australia minus 4 , being pragmatic not anti Wales.

Queuing to get in cos of the extra security.
I wonder what the attendances would be if the national football team were playing 4 friendlies at home on consecutive weekends, especially with tickets for all 4 costing about £200.

Re: What puts you off watching Rugby on the telly?
Piss poor organization then, at kick off there were thousands of empty seats.

There are huge queues apparently.
Friends sent pics of the thousands outside fuming. Not sure what's happened there as they usually have it sussed. Not good especially as they charge extortionate prices for the rugby!

I think you are safe with this one :thumbup: the pace at which Australia attacke is something our players do not see week in week out, whilst we will get comfortably beat, at least we are seemingly looking to move away from Warren Ball

Huge queues due to eggers not grasping that due to the increase in terrorist incidents there might actually be increased security, failing to realise that by forsaking their 8th/9th pint of the day, they could queue up earlier and get in for kickoff..

Going to watch egg chasing is all about getting rat arsed and zero to do with the actual game...
EDIT: And which football games have had notable numbers of empty seats due to queues due to increased security?

If we are honest , football fans are much more well behaved than rugby fans

For loads yes, not all.
The ccs had about 18000 for the sheff weds game and I remember being delayed walking in as all jackets were opened while walking in...id imagine near 60000 more fans that day and we would have seen longer delays.
Went to the fireworks in Cardiff last year, went again the other week and we got there a reasonable time so had no queues but friends who came later took 45 minutes to get in as they checked everyone on entering, fireworks were over half hour late.
But of course it's just piss heads that cause delays isn't it.

He should be serious.
Do you remember the mass media coverage, arrests when the England team had their coach bricked years ago? English flag burnt? No - funnily enough, media played it down.
Plenty of incidents occur after every rugby international that would lead to arrests and banning orders if conducted by football fans.

Yes, it is. As in egg chasing pissheads knowing security has been increased and decide to turn up at the last minute as that 92nd beer is far more important.
