Yep, with a few differences. I like the way both games are played full out--unless someone is seriously hurt in the middle of the field, they just shunt them to the side and play on :) From what I've seen in Six Nations, rugger is much the same in that respect.
Yar definitely, rugby is as rough as shyte... lots of claret flowing after a game. If you don't need stitches, then you didn't have a good game. (I'm kidding... mostly) :laugh:

They're honest games, and the players play with heart (and have far less injuries with far less padding than US football) :) I like a forthright game like I like forthright people--lol.
I am on cloud nine right now... it is just DAYS until the RWCup begins, I am so excited, this to me (every four years) makes up for every other crappy thing in my life.
Seriously, I am soooo easy to please. Just one rugby world cup tournament every four years... :a11:

Cloud nine actually means something specific? I thought it was a phrase George Harrison dreamed up for his song.......

I didn't know much about rugby (and still watch in amazement rather than truly knowing exactly what's going on--lol) until I made some friends in Ireland and Australia who are very into it. I don't have cable, but sometimes I can catch games on YouTube or streaming on RtE. Siobhan goes bonkers during Six Nations--'watching' her play by play of the games is almost as entertaining as the game itself :)

I am just blissfully happy. :smile: :rugby: (I will have to Google the song lyrics.)
