Are you talking about the "research" they did on that show, who's name escapes me?

FACT: They tested a professional gridiron player's tackling power against an ametuer rugby player's. Coupled with the fact that every time I've seen that show (all of twice), it comes out in favour of the American sport, despite leaving out a bunch of variables. Conclusion: Mega mega mega biased.

Yes, but you're an Aussie. Well-known fact via Discworld, specifically The Last Continent. Australia requires vast amounts of beer to survive.

True story: 80% of the rugby players I, personally know are female. Maybe that's just me, and really in the US that immensely minority sport is male-dominated...

But I'm thinking that rugby is rugby for girls.

Also, Arse, on the subject of amateur rugby players... wait, there are professional ones?

Yeah, they play a lot of rugby there. And in South Africa. And in Australia. And ESPECIALLY in New Zealand.

And most of the pacific islands as well.

It'd be pretty hard to play there, wouldn't it? I hear it's really cold? Methane lakes and all?

What's "most of the Pacific islands?" There are so damn many piddly little islands in the Pacific and not-so-piddly little islands that making a generalization about them is like making a generalization about Americans. "Most of them like baseball," for instance.

Places like Tonga, Fiji, Samoa. Places where the men could crush you just by looking at you.

Samoa's actually known for their football players. Sure, they only have about thirty in the NFL. But that's 30 out of a population of 65,000.

Maybe in America, but internationally they are known as Rugby players.

Says who? And which Samoa? Maybe Western Samoa is known for their rugby players, but who cares about them? Just because they're bigger. BAH!

I'm talking about the actual sovereign state, Samoa.

Oh, and Walker: Rugby is better than Gridiron. More popular too.

Re: **** every football team to ever come out of Texas.

BAH! 'Tis Western Samoa. Don't be reductifying the Samoan-ness of American Samoans! 'Tis cruel!

I'm sorry, Arse, but I care so little about rugby I can't really work up the inclination to argue. Rugby here is, honestly, on a level below field hockey and volleyball and their ilk. Some colleges and a few high schools have teams. There are a few recreational leagues.

No one cares about any of them who doesn't actually play them. It's honestly less popular than soccer. By a huge margin.

Because when rugby got transferred over here it was beaten vigorously until it turned into football.

Its more popular everywhere that's not America.

Oh, I forgot! Those places don't exist.

Seriously, all your sports are just corruptions of real ones with the rules changed to make it either more complicated or less interesting. In this case, both.

Life is a controversial first-person shooter developed and published by God over 9,000 years ago. It is about a person, of whom is randomly created for you, who lives in a very strange world called Urth in the fictional country of America. People have claimed to live in places like Aznworld or Tea City, but evidence suggests that these players are bots. This person, you, can go anywhere and do anything, but only has one... no life.

arseface, you are one of my favorite bots for being self aware. :wub:

Sports Science. They got an American Rugby player to do the tackle so obviously it was going to be crap.

And Lol Walker. You got owned by a retarded rule.

Who Dey... I would like to see more Rugby on ESPN, and I am a big fan of both Football and Football.

Re: **** every football team to ever come out of Texas.

Assing something slightly different to the thread...

Foot + Ball = Football
Football%202%20%28Small%29.JPG

Hand + Ball = Handball
european-handball-02.jpg

Hand + Egg = Handegg
american_football_3.jpg

Handegg =/= Football. Football actually uses FEET and a BALL.

Also:
