          No, it satisfies tribal requirements, it does not have WAGS, and is overall far more wholesome

              Yeah right. I've been to rugby games, even at Murrayfield, and no-one could ever tell me why the game stops, ref's whistle etc

              At least at a football match we know what's going on - most of the time, just occasionally a ref/assistant makes an unusual decision...

                  Couldn't agree with you more JW (although, between you and me, since no once else is listening, we'll just keep quiet about THAT offside rule, shall we, which even the players themselves don't quite understand).

                        Or they'll both lose to West Brom and lose their managers, like Chelsea and Wolves. Up the Baggies!

                          Also, in proper football the 'seven-stone weakling' with a bit of skill can make a right fool of the big bully defender built like a Sherman tank ... that could never, ever, happen in rugby.

                          I have always loved football for that very reason alone, if only because I remember being that 'seven-stone weakling' (without the skill).
