Do you like Rugby?

[Virago]

...Can't stand when every other farkin customer comes in and asks 'who's gonna win the game?'...

My normal response is "The Silver Ferns". It usually stops the conversation dead in its tracks.

[Dooly]

Yep love it.
Used to play senior rugby, and one of our lads made the trial for the HB Magpies first year out of school, so have a keen interest.
Am starting to be really bored with Super14 and Tri nations tho.
The NPC is good. Well premier division anyway.

...its the only time i have girls after me!

[crshbndct]

i enjoy rugby not the hype that goes with it
i voted no though

[HTFU]

this will be interesting.....

No it won't - looking at the thread this came off - NO and the sissy boys will take it out.

Do Kiwibikers like/dislike rugby:

Can you define like/dislike - is that like my thoughts on this?

versus the view the missus had when I brought my new bike home .

Vote now or forever hold your piece

I am going to do both

Go the yes vote

I used to love watching and playing the game but it has changed so much that now its very similar to rugby league - defensive/attacking patterns. The IRB arent helping with all the rule changes and to be honest its just not same without the rucking and fighting (nothing wrong with a little bit of fist'a'cuffs)

All Black legend Michael Jones summed it up for me in an interview during the world cup when he said the game was getting "SOFT"!

Still like it but only just....

To stay on topic; I dislike rugby

[Wolf]

Finally, a poll. Not telling you what I voted, it's secret

So, who do you think is going to get Gold in the Pistol Shooting at the next Olympics?

[peasea]

It's fucked

[Swoop]

Where is the option for "I'd rather watch paint dry"?

[Eurodave]

Ahhh, Thugby.......
A game where a bunch of over paid & overgrown men put on short shorts , chase a ball thats not even round & made of a dead pig skin around & around a paddock trying desperately to feel each other up as much as possable
& dont even get me started on the shower room antics afterwards

[Beemer]

I hate rugby and have never had any interest in the 'sport'. Sick of hearing about it all the time and having every news bulletin lead with 'news' of the World Cup - last night TV3 had 15 minutes of post mortems before we heard what else had happened in the world!

And no, our household is NOT in mourning because the All Blacks lost. We couldn't give a toss actually!

[scracha]

Like watching the odd game but it's not "newsworthy".

[ManDownUnder]

I like the important games (i.e. National Level involved the ABs)... but otherwise... meh...

I grew up a daddy's girl. I watched rugby, wrestling and motorsports. I used to watch every game in the NPC, Super 12 and All Blacks, knew all the players, all their stats etc etc
Moved to Auckland (Dad in Christchurch now) and eventually lost touch with the sport. Players like Jeff Wilson (who I am soooo going to marry!) were no longer playing and it wasn't as enjoyable.
After watching the game yesterday morning my love for the game is totally back! Was a game where all players were pushed and pushed some more. My sister and I were screaming and stuff. Fun times!
Rugby is a sport where if you don't understand the rules then it isn't enjoyable.
