    Rugby

    I'm not normally a fan of rugby but i'm sat here watching England vs. Scotland and I have to admit, it is very entertaining.

    The thing that impresses me most is the discipline and fair play in what is a very physical game. I have no idea what the rules are though!

    I've been watching rugby all day . First France - Italy and now this. The France game was a bit rubbish really. The England one is entertaning though, and good to watch for the neutrals as well .

    Come on England!

    edit: Looks like we will get a try from this scrum.

    edit2: Oh well

    Taz, Rugby is a great game mainly because of the reasons you gave in your first post

    the players all have respect for each other at the end of the day and although there are a few scraps there is none of the 'diving' that is seen oh-so often in football

    watch the games next weekend as well man

    pete

    edit: i have to say Scotland did earn that victory but it would have been nice to see less of the kicking and more of the tries...

    I don't know who to back this year. I'm Aussie, and it's difficult to get into it without backing someone, it's all so even this year. 4 teams with 2-1 results now... and the games are so up and down.
