I just don't really understand it to any depth.I am a great fan of sticking it up the Australians (not literally), though, in any form that can take, so keep an eye out on the Ashes and stuff like that.The thing that pisses me off about rugby is that whole "yeah, but like, footballers are all practically gay look at the way they dive, it's not a civilised man's sport like rugby"That's rugby where players punch shit out of each other on the pitch, or where you get things like players biting into vials of fake blood.Then there's other annoyances - the Barbour jacketed pissed up twats who watch it, the piss-drinking pissed up twats who play it, the fact that it basically seems to consist of kick and rush these days (get enough of that watching Villa).Perfectly put. Football is just intrinsically a more beautiful game to watch than rugby. There are too many rules in rugby and who would want to watch a try of the season highlights show? And while diving in football is annoying, at least you don't get people sticking their fingers up opposing players' anuses in scrums, last time I checked. You also don't get many 18 stone fatties making a career in top flight football.Grant Holt might disagree.

And those with confused homo-erotic feelings.I've always felt the key difference between the two sports is that when a goal is scored in football it is the moment of ecstasy that is generally celebrated wildly, and in Rugby it's like someone has let a balloon down, the noise just farts away into polite clapping.

The rugby crowd treated the match as a social occasion first and a sporting occasion second
Compared to Tennis, Formula One is brilliant.
