Europeans and Australians are Right..

Rugby is pretty much the manliest sport ever.

I'm 18 (high schoo), live in the USA, and I somehow irresponsibly missed the tryouts for the sport I was going to play, and the only sport that was still taking people was Rugby. So, I joined Rugby just to play a sport.

Oh my god, yesterday was my first game (we've done 2 practices). I played left wing for the entire game, and it's just so fun.

People are tackling each other full speed and the only protection you have is a mouthguard. I'm still kinda limping and the game was yesterday.

One guy on my team broke his nose and kept playing. A fight broke out in the middle of the game. Why isn't this sport more popular in the US..

Hehe, i played rugby through school.. good fun. Didnt get any serious injuries myself but broke a guys leg once. Manliest sport though? na.. Boxing is as manly as it gets.

Theres a local high school in my area tahts hella good. They might go to nationals (USA) But Im to much of a fatass to play right now... Maybe next year when Im closer to the body I want.

Maybe because we prefer our manly action in short, steroidal bursts. Like in American football!

Hell yes! GO SEAHAWKS!

uh.....rugby isn't popular in 95% of europe.

american football is the most boring game i ever saw. run a few yards and stop, take 10 minute break (few comercials) and then run another few yards..... I tried, i really tried watching the whole game..... I COULDN'T DO IT.

I love it when people answer their own questions without knowing it. j/k

Nannying legislation would probably put a stop to rugby in the US if it became widespread. One kid gets an owwie, and his mom will sue for millions.

Rugby is stupidly dangerous. They made us play it at school (in the UK where I'm from) and I broke my clavical/collar bone.

It's great if you like rolling around in the mud with other men. I do not.

There's only one sport I enjoy watching, women's tennis. Which reminds me that I've never ****ed a chick wearing one of those sexy tennis outfits, I'll have to put that on my 'to do' list right away.

I seem to have veered off-topic. In conclusion, rugby is gay.

Try tackle football with no gear
Basically the same thing but more physical
As in theres an o-line & d-line

Rugby is basically smeer tha queer
Rugby has rules about tackling so:

Tackle Football > rugby

This is so fun to do in the summer! Just like 20 friends, make quick teams and no gear. First to 6 or 7 wins and then pick new teams. Awesome stuff!

Rugby isn't as popular in the U.S., it's more renown in the U.K., Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, and the South Pacific. Compared to these countries, the U.S. usually falls at the bottom of the pecking order.

It isn't because we have lower quality atheletes... it's because we don't have highly specialized atheletes in that sport. For example, in New Zealand, kids start playing organized rugby at the same age when American kids start playing organized baseball... Little League.

 

[Dust 2 Dust]

Smear the queer is better.

Rugby's my second favorite sport(second if you count rallying). The reasons it's only populer in those places is probably cuz there are all former british colonies are have a large british influence.

Am i reading this right??

A guy who likes watching womans tennis calls rugby gay??

I think boxing is probably a manlier sport than Rugby. When the objective is to beat your other opponent into a coma, carrying a ball down a field suddenly becomes less enthralling.

Rugby is still pretty rough. I feel it's too unrefined compared to American Football. I watched my friend play it and I just saw people tackling each other and kicking others for no apparent reason. Football requires more strategy and coaching.

BTW, have you ever heard of Maria Sharapova spider? I think she could sway your image of women's tennis.

 

[insanity]

hmmm... yeah rugbys got the eye gouging thing going on. it is pretty rough stuff. but don't count out hockey. there's some really tough hockey players who play with broken and sprained body parts for the love of the game. and it's also one of the few sports that have fist fights.

Boxing got my vote because its one man v another, no help from your friends. Hehe, funny enough.. but i see more injuries occur in rugby than boxing, and i sure as hell feel tonnes worse after a game of rugby than i do after a boxing match.

Rugby isn't unrefined, chaotic at times yes.. but i dont believe American Football requires more strategy. If things seem to be happening for no apparent reason, you probably dont know the rules of the game .

Talking about manly sports, yes Boxing is pretty manly, but I think weight lifting is manlier. Have you guys seen those strong-man competitions? Try towing a friggin truck with your body
