Not big fans of baseball or basketball, but at least it's sorta straightforward and you know what's going on.

But with rugby, it's a brutal spectacle with stupid rules... who the hell dreamt up that shite? Backwards to go forwards, one of the aims is to kick the ball out of play...wtf? A set of posts, but you can score in the corner. That's the stupidest bit. That's like having in snooker, you can earn points by potting balls into the pocket, but you can also earn points by hitting your opponent over the head with your cue.

This might make it slightly more watchable, seeing someone nail Ronnie while he turns down another 147.  ;)

Poor Ronnie is constantly complaining about being bored with the game. That might fire up the Rocket!

That's my idea. I just hope Barry Hearn doesn't frequent GAABoard.

Their parents probably consider it worth the fee if they learn the correct perfect conditional tense of the verb "go".

THIS i seen it on one day and the player kicked the ball out of play and his team got possession.... hows that even possible! oh and how the ref seems to point the opposite direction giving frees etc... brutal game!

Forgot about UFC, awful sport, unlike boxing which has structure UFC is just go in guns blazing and hope you get the guy on the ground and keep punching him, not for me.

On an aside I love how people slag off rugby for being posh.

Most of the Irish rugby players would have went to fee paying schools

Do misplaced apostrophe's annoy you?

poor description of UFC I think. As for rugby, that would have been a penalty if he kicked it out and got possession. Anyway, League is a much better sport that union.
